Is it possible your routing table gets screwed up somehow? Try doing a
tcpdump on the link between the two machines, and see if any packets make it
out at all. Can you even ping ezekiel from ariel when the problem is
happening? Maybe ariel has a flaky network card or driver. Check the syslog
of ariel for odd messages.
