I have several Supermicro servers. Over the past about 2 months, a few
of them have started being stupid when it comes to networking. On
these servers, I reinstalled the OS (debian etch and *gasp* windows)
and, afterwards, the box stops responding to arp requests. If I try to
ping the server, I get a no route to host error. The arp tables show
an incomplete for the ip address of the box. Funny thing is that if I
then get to a console for the box and just generate any kind of
network traffic, things then work. Any ideas on this? (and I don't
really consider a cron to wget google every minute a solution). It has
happened on a few different models of servers and across Linux and
Windows. Thanks
Mike
As a bit more information, it appears that all of the machines are
running Intel 82563EB based network adapters.
