ipconntrack

Hi

I've been geting this error:


ip_conntrack: table full dropping packet

giving autonegotiation more time .... please check....




then my firewall, just doesn't let anything pass! What could be the cause of this error ?! Why does this happen?! Could it be a p2p program?



Thanks in advanced

P2P could be the answer.conntrack is what tracks traffic i.e It is what understands whether a connection is established related etc. However there is a limit to how many it can track.

try 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max' to find out how many you are set to use. If it is to low a number

use ' echo "xxx" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max ' to set it . ( where xxx is some integer.)

I'll do that


:) thanks

Let me know if that worked out for you that way when it happens to me I will know the answer,
