Hi folks: I have a gateway E4100 series computer acting as my snort box. It is running 2006.1 and has the intel Pro1000 nic. The box was built from a stage 4 install which I have 2 other identical machines running on.
The problem is that the network adapter seems to "fall asleep" periodically. If I attempt to access the base webpage or ssh, I get no response till I ping the box -- 8 pings later, it wakes up and acts normally. For a while, then it starts over. Checking /var/log/messages indicates no problems, it shows the crons happily running, the snort startup etc. but nothing else. Can anyone shed some light on the problem and a possible solution.
