[SunHELP] Strange network problems

[Fletcher, Joe]

Do you have T pieces connecting the two hubs? IIRC (been a while since I
used thinwire) if you just connect straight through and don't have
terminators then unless your hubs have internal termination active then the
transmission characteristics will be wrong.

Subject: [SunHELP] Strange network problems


Hi,

I wonder if you can help me with some strange network problems I've 
got at home.
The network consists of two 10baseT hubs, connected by thin 
ethernet of approx. 25 meters.
One PC and two suns live on one of the hubs, one PC is connected 
to the thin ethernet loop and another sun is connected to the other 
hub. I can ping all machines from all machines, but when I try to 
telnet from the PC on the one hub to the sun on the other hub, I have 
problems. Most of the times I am able to log in and get to the prompt 
and type a command, but when the command has to put out a lot of 
text (more than one line) I get no response.
All the while, I can ping with no problem but when I use packets 
larger 55 bytes I start to get packet loss, packets of 60 bytes and 
more don't come through at all.

I have tried exchanging the hubs, but that didn't seem to help.

What might be the problem here?
