G'day All,

I've just started noticing this error message:

[root@eric /root]# eth0: unexpected TX-done interrupt, lasttx=20.

It occurs when I'm telnet-ed into my RedHat4.1 box from a Win95 box via
Trumpet telnet.  It seems to happen each time I fire up Pine to read
mail.

The message pops up on the console screen as well as in
/var/log/messages.

I don't know if I need to worry about it or not.  Eveything seems to run
OK, although the telnet session hangs occasionally (very
occasionally...)


I'm also getting the follwing when mounting a volume of another machine
with NFS:

Apr  3 00:35:26 eric kernel: NFS server fred not responding, still
trying.
Apr  3 00:35:26 eric kernel: NFS server fred OK.
Apr  3 00:36:07 eric kernel: NFS server fred not responding, still
trying.
Apr  3 00:36:07 eric kernel: NFS server fred OK.
Apr  3 00:36:39 eric kernel: NFS server fred not responding, still
trying.

This isn't a new message like the other.  Again, everything runs OK,
although slow (as you'd expect if the server keeps dropping out)  I was
able to do an NFS install of RH4.0 and the subsequent upgrade to 4.1
without any problems, apart from the time it took !

Any assistance with either/both gratefully accepted.

Oh yeah..some sytem info:
eric - 486 DX4 100, 16 mb RAM 2 X ide hdd's approx 400 mb Linux native,
12 linux swap, remainder DOS, internal modem for PPP link

fred - cyrix 586 100 16mb RAM, 2 X IDE hdd's, partitions about the same
as eric, 4 X IDE CD on secondary port (This is the Windoze95 machine)

Both are connected via NE2000 clone cards.

Please cc an e-mail reply too, as newsgroup access (and feed !)
fluctuates.

Thanks again,
Andrew
