I've seen the same thing happen a number of times with midrange systems. If the system doesn't send any traffic through the switch for a while, the MAC address gets flushed out of the switch's cache. It then takes a little bit for the switch to "re-learn" what MAC belongs to the IP address. Usually not a long time, but noticeable. > eth1 is still dead, but I can live with that for the moment.

If the new initrd doesn't fix things, I'll take a look at that too. :) Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
