Re: too many retransmissions - with Linux Mandrake

Hi,

Yeh, I've restarted both by changing run levels (down to 3, then back up to
5) and by restarting the virtual machine.

The networking on the nt box (the host machine) is complicated, theres a
physical network card, IP 192.168.0.10 not connected to anything with no
name, and a virtual network card for VMWare, IP 192.168.78.1, called nt in
the hosts file.
