Could it be that you loose the IP adres you had while installing the system? Maybe because you are using DHCP and there is something not working the way it should do? Maybe you get an adress by DHCP during installation, you keep that adres for 3 days, your system thinks it's a static adres but the DHCP server has allready given it to someone else on day 3.

Onderwerp: eth0 device or resource busy
For some reason, usually after about three days, after instaling and
configuring linux to use the internet via my schools network, the
internet won't work any more. If I use telnet, it tells me that the
host lookup failed and netscape can't find any server. When I boot
up or shutdown, I see a message saying my eth0 "device or
resource is busy". Looking at netcfg, it tells me that it is inactive
and activating it returns a message that initializing it will be
delayed. I've had to reinstal at least three times now.
Today was a real kick in the pants as I added no new software and
it died in hours. How do I fix this problem and secondly keep it
from reoccuring in the future?
