HELP...Neighbour Table Overflow ERROR

Post by DavidHenderso » Wed, 11 Aug 1999 04:00:00



I'm getting the following messages in my message log:

  parport 0:  detected irq7; use procfs to enable interupt-driven
operation
  neighbour table overflow

If this info would help, we have a small LAN for our office, running RH
6.0 with Win 95/98 clients with Internet access via PPP.  Using samba
for file server purposes & using IP Masquerading with 2 ipchains
commands, whether those commands are relevant to my problem or not I
don't know, but here they are:
 ipchains -P forward DENY
 ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ

Everything appears to work fine, except that we get quite a few of the
above messages throughout the day...PLEASE HELP!!

This looks like a reference to configuring a parallel printer for IRQ 7.
Check linux/Documentation/parport.txt .

Parallel printers don't really need an IRQ though.  I've disabled the
printer IRQ in the BIOS and have an extra interrupt for other purposes.

:   neighbour table overflow

Don't know what this is about.
