On my network, I have Win XP FR, Win 98 FR and EN, Win 2K FR and EN....
On this network, I have a RedHat server. This server acts as a webserver, DNS server and as a storage server (at the moment).
When I try to view a web page, SSH or FTP on that RH server from one of the French windows PCs, my request just seems to hang..... on a web page, I'll get just the first couple of images and then it just hangs there.... SSH requests never get around to asking me for my login info (just hangs... doesn't respond) and FTP does the same as SSH.... I tested this on a FR pc outside my network and it worked very well.... so the problem seems internal.
Now I also have a Mandrake 9 server running as DNS and webserver, this box has absolutely no problem on the network communicating with any french os.
So, would there be a network setting that I may have overlooked in my RedHat box?
There is a router between some of the machines and the RedHat box, but my workstation doesn't, it's XP Fr, it has the same behavior...
I can ping RedHat (from outside the router), but any http request or SSH request just seems to hang forever.....
For a website, it loads the first image or couple of images and then just stops... the browser acts like it's still loading the page but nothing happens.
My workstation is in the same switch as the RedHat box...
Strange.... do you have any other services running on the RedHat box?
Also, when you notice the problem, try doing a restart of network services, and see if that helps. I had problems a while back on an RedHat 8.0 box with slow network response, and the only way to fix it was to restart the network:
Multi-homed refers to a system that is part of 2 or more subnets. An example is a system with 2 NIC cards, each card plugged into a different network.
I don't believe that routing would be an issue, because you said that the first few pictures on the site will come up, but the rest won't load.
Now, the possibility exists that the first few images are loading from your browser's cash, and that no connection can be made AT ALL on the internal network to the RedHat machine. You mentioned that you can ping it, which means that tcp/ip is functioning and that routing is configured correctly (if it wasn't then ping would fail). Have you checked your firewall (IPChains/tables) on the RedHat box to see if the firewall is blocking port 80?
