Networking feature issues

[Homeofmike]

I've tested and search, here is the problem I'm stuck on.

I have telnet, ftp, tivowebplus, and mfs_ftp running. After some period of time, all these network fuctions fail at the same time. From the serial port, I can see the associated processes are still running.

I have tried many combinations of running those 4 apps or not, and it does not matter, the apps I choose to run fail at the same time.

Obviously, I'm thinking general network or adaptor issues. I am using the Linksys USB200, standard modules documented many times on this board, modules part of the 3.1.5 disk image (I did not download them).

Not sure where to go from here, looking for guidance or pointers. I'm happy to research and dig, just need help getting started.

In case it matters, I have the HR10-250 reciever. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

... standard modules documented many times on this board ... That's a little vague. Can you tell us exactly where you got your usb modules? For example, is it these (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=210326#post210326)? Or these (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=187485#post187485)? or something else?

Sure, the modules were already part of the 3.1.5 image. The modules I'm using are:

insmod /lib/modules/usbcore.o
insmod /lib/modules/ehci-hcd.o
insmod /lib/modules/ax8817x.o
sleep 10

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.247 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.254
sleep 100

Sure, the modules were already part of the 3.1.5 image.Ahh. Try the backport modules I linked to instead. I believe the stock modules are known to have lockup issues on the HD boxes.

Thank you very much for the pointer! I have the new modules install and am testing now ...

Thanks so much! After considerable testing, I have yet to have a failure with the backport drivers. Thanks for the help!
