Subject: Netatalk problems, the saga continues (falling from chooser etc.)

Hi all,
Some days ago I mailed to the list with some problems, one of them being that
the server falls off the chooser and reappears again. This is completely random
behavior, there's no telling when that happens (at least not to me :).
One of the tips you gave me was that Intel Eepro/100 NIC's were known to have
some problems, expecially with multicasting.
I disabled the onboard nic and added a 3Com 3c905c-tx to see if that helped.
Unfortunately it didn't.
The problems I am experiencing are:
- Server falling off the chooser and reappearing again
- Other computers suddenly not showing up on the chooser anymore (where before
the netatalk server was installed they did)
- Writes to the server occasionally stall (I just experienced a stall for about
5-10 minutes when writing a <1 mb flas animation)
- general stalls when accessing the server occasionally (for instance when doing
a directory lookup)
I don't see any errors in logfiles, other than standard things I would expect.
Things like this:
Jul 2 08:06:02 fileserver2 afpd[6078]: ASIP session:548(2) from 195.193.216.36:49166(0)
Jul 2 08:06:02 fileserver2 afpd[6078]: login noauth
Jul 2 08:06:02 fileserver2 afpd[6078]: login nobody (uid 99, gid 99)
Jul 2 08:06:11 fileserver2 afpd[6078]: logout nobody
Jul 2 08:06:11 fileserver2 afpd[6078]: 3.21KB read, 5.44KB written
Jul 2 08:06:11 fileserver2 afpd[712]: server_child[1] 6078 done
That looks normal to me :)
I haven't seen errors about networks or nics being resetted at all (wich was the
sometimes the case with Intel Eepro/100).
I'm running RH Linux 6.2, kernel 2.4.3, netatalk 1.4b2+asu-2.1.4-0.
These are my configs:
---- afpd.conf ----
# We are defining 2 servers here, one permits access to the general share, one permits access to the 'sys' share.
# The standard server should permit access to the general share.
- -tcp -ipaddr 195.193.216.32 -nocrlf -guest -nocleartext -guestname "nobody"
# The next server should permit to the 'sys' share
"SYS Server" -tcp -ipaddr 195.193.216.32 -port 12000 -loginmesg "Deze share is alleen voor toegang tot de 'sys' share!" -defaultvol /etc/atalk/sys-server/AppleVolumes.default -systemvol /etc/atalk/sys-server/AppleVolumes.system -nocrlf -guest -nocleartext
---- atalkd.conf ----
eth0 -phase 2 -net 0-65534 -addr 65310.10
---- config ----
AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS=50
ATALK_NAME=fileserver
ATALK_BGROUND=no
AFPD_RUN=yes
PAPD_RUN=yes
And this is the result of 'nbplkup':
