I expected some problems with the network settings,with the duplex settings
in detail.
I had read something about mii support in the ixp4xx kernel module ,so I started
to compile the GPL tool mii-diag.
Download the NSLU Binary: mii-diag
With this tool , you are able to view and modify the duplex settings of the NSLU network interface.
To view the settings use: mii-diag -ixp -p 1

PS: I does not solve my problem (because it was the MTU size of the windows machines)]]> http://www.dietzm.de/blog/archives/2005/03/#e2005-03-29T21_53_17.txt 2005-03-29T21:53:17+02:00 MDietz NSLU Now I use the NSLU2 for:

-Samba Network Storage for my Windows PCs
-NFS Server for recording movies with the DBox
-NFS Server for playing movies , images and mp3 with the DBox
-CVS Server for my java development (e.g. Aireo sync tool)
-CUPS Server for printing
-Web Server for this blog
-SSH Server for remote access
-FTP Server for fast uploads from linux
-JVM for my own java applications

in future I plan to do:
-Connect my WebCam to my NSLU
-Display my pictures in a Web gallery
-Connect my Aireo to the NSLU (automated sync)
-Connect my palm to the NSLU
-Active the Power management of the hdd -better integration with my dbox ]]> http://www.dietzm.de/blog/archives/2005/03/#e2005-03-28T23_23_23.txt 2005-03-28T23:23:23+02:00 MDietz NSLU
