Description Phil Venton 2001-07-24 10:26:09 UTC 
Customer reports that about one in three connection attempts with rp3 cause the connection to hang before completion under the 2.4.3-12 errata kernel.  The dial process will not die, and requires a reboot.

Works fine under the standard 2.4.2 shipping kernel.

What other info do you need?
Comment 1 Phil Venton 2001-07-24 14:31:10 UTC 
Additional Info:

This has been reproducd by the customer under various configurations of Dell Inspiron 7500 GLT portables (several machines, so it shouldn't be a hardware fault), as well as a Toshiba Tecra laptop.

It may or may not be related to the fact that these are all portables, I'm trying to confirm here.
Comment 2 Phil Venton 2001-08-24 10:53:06 UTC 
Customer has recently discovered that changing the hostname from just the machine name to a FQDN restores proper behaviour.  Do we require a FQDN, or should it be able to work with just, for example, "machine01"?
