nx7000 / realtek /telnet under xp

[Christopher Borbach]

Hello out there!

I have a very very strange behaviour on my compaq nx7000 notebook:
when I open a telnet session to our UNIX server using the win XP
telnet program I only have to perform the following actions to make
the network connection over the realtek NIC impossible:

- mark the characters of a line longer than 80 characters in the
telnet session
- paste the marked/copied line back to the telnet session

That's all! A portion of te marked line is pasted to the telnet
session. Then the session is aborted and the whole traffic over the
realtek NIC doesn't work any more! I updated the OM/BIOS and realtek
drivers. The only change I remarked is that XP was able to shutdown
cleanly.

Any Idea?

Christopher

Well, the Realtek Ethernet chipset and Realtek's support have never impressed
me. (I recently installed and and donated to a Realtek 10/100 PCI card to a
needy family. I will probably never ask one of my clients for one.) Putting a
Realtek chip in a notebook is yet another effort by the HPaq to cut product cost
and quality at the same time, and you the customer are left holding the bag (or
stomping out a burning paper bag left on your doorstep).

May I suggest installing and using a now-inexpensive name-brand PC Card 10/100
Ethernet card, such as a 3COM/MegaHertz or Intel, both with comprehensive driver
support and good quality diagnostics?

You may also have encountered a software defect in Micro$oft's telnet
implementation. Try one of the several very good open source telnet programs
for Windows... Ben Myers

Thank you Ben!

Now I use PuTTY which works fine. On my DELL notebook I always used M$
telnet without any problems. I just wonder how such a simple task like
cut/paste can force the NIC go down. So I hope othe tasks wil work fine in
the future ...
