NAT timeout

Post by earthadm »

Hi,

The network connections seems to timeout whenever I try to transfer files, whether it's wget, nfs, or rsync. Here's what I have installed and configured:

Host: Centos 5.5
Client: Fedora 14

eth0: NAT (Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop)
eth1: host-only (Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop, for NFS mounting purposes to host disk)

The length of time before it times out varies, but it seems to behave better after a reboot of the image. Even if the existing wget process is hung up, I can successfully launch another identical wget command, so the network is not completely dead. If I use 'wget --timeout=0', it sometimes resumes downloading but is unreliable.

Thanks in advance.

Try the paravirtualized (virtio-net) adapter.

I read that on another post and tried that already. Same results unfortunately.
