Hello.

To change those values you go like this (being root):

Code: [Select]
echo -n 300000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_low_thresh
Those changes take effect inmediately, and are lost upon reboot. If changing those values works for you (it didn't for me), you could automate them via the /etc/sysctl.conf, which is run by the start up system scripts.

OK, I changed those values and it didn't have any effect.

Some new information I don't know it's normal: I tried to telnet the ports 4662 and 4672 when I had amule running. No problem with 4662 but I coundn't telnet 4672 (connection refused) even with a direct connection to the modem. What I did was:

$telnet localhost 4672

and it didn't work. Is it normal??

If 4672 is your aMule UDP port, then yes it is normal, as telnet operates on TCP.

Hmm, in that case I'm out, nothing I can think of other then the network card driver. If you can somehow try to upgrade that, but I have never done that myself.

Sorry  :(

In Linux the driver comes with the kernel, and it would be extremely weird the linux driver to be in bad shape. You probably have a defective network card, so you should try a new network card and disable or remove the one you currently have installed.

Please try that and tell us how it goes.

well, It can't be from the network card as it works perfectly on windows. But I think it could be from the driver because, on the previous distribution of ubuntu, I couldn't even get network access and it may still be on a beta stage of development. Unfortunatly I don't have much time to try and upgrade it now as I have no ideia on how to do it. Maybe I'll try that latter. anyway, meanwhile I think I will try another p2p client and see if it works.

Thanks a lot to you two for all the help,

Well, don't compare different OS'es directly with each other. As MS and Linux have different development tracks it can very well be that one OS has a much more mature driver for a piece of hardware then the other OS. And MS has much more contact with chipset manufacturers to develop specific driver functionality, since it has a cash position Linux will by default never have.

In other words: If something works under Windows, it might never work (correctly) under Linux.
