Problem
Network Connectivity very slow on a DFI NF4 LanParty motherboard. (SUSE 9.3 pro)
Ping revealed 50% packetloss. Traceroute couldn’t make up its mind where the loss actually was.
The Fix
After hours of going through all the settings, I adjusted everything I could think of. MTU, DNS servers, IP’s, etc. No other computers on network had a problem.
I decided that since my NVidia NIC had worked perfectly before with the same install, I would pull the DFI Gigabite NIC… Problem solved.
(Open YaST2, Network Devices, Network Card - Under “Already Configured Devices” hit “Change” then click on the DFI GB NIC and “Delete”. Hit finished and try again.)
Yet another oddity of Linux…
