I posted about this problem a few days ago but there's been no feedback; maybe my post was too long. I'll rephrase it briefer.

I have a 12" PB with a wifi card. The PB has a static IP address. Occasionally I find that when using the ethernet connection the PB is no longer able to transmit or receive across the network - no browsing, no email, no ping, even to devices within my own local suib-net. This happens intermittently, and when it does happen it's only after a while - an hour of use? - and some days never.

The network configuration looks OK, but running this command:

'ipconfig getifaddr en0' in a terminal window gets this response:

'get if addr en0 failed, (os/kern) failure'

Has anyone else ever seen this? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing it?
