G'day.
I am trying to get a very old Solaris 5.7 server to ftp data to a Linux server, but the Solaris box keeps losing networking after sending some data. I can't ping the Solaris box from any of the servers on my network.
Could this be related to a much newer (modern) TCP/IP stack in Linux and TCP options? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for how I can tune the Linux server? I am not as concerned about performance, but just to keep the Solaris box from crashing (and no, I can't upgrade the legacy Solaris server).
Thanks, -- Wade Hampton

I've talked to even older equipment than that with no problems. Hardware problems seem more likely (or something annoying like another machine on the same LAN with the same hard wired IP address).
