Network driver issue??

[Ayman Altounji]

I am having a problem with my COMPAQ servers. I have installed RH7.2 and 7.3 on two separate servers and have an issue with network tools (like dig and traceroute) that use the UDP protocol. I have several other RH 7.2 and 7.3 installs on non-COMPAQ systems that do not exhibit this issue.

All systems reside on the same subnet and exit through the same firewall.

If I use the -L option on traceroute I get the expected results. Examples below.

Anuone else have this problem or a solution to it?
