The fact that once you had changed to an other switch it had started to work points the blame to the 3Com switch. Funnily enough, about 10 years ago I would get the same kind of issues with 3Com network cards and switches talking to each other (on 100Mbit!). Disabling the auto-handshake and forcing the link to a particular speed would fix the problem. Try forcing the link speed with ethtool or similar utilities. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org What part of 'ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn' don't you understand? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Problems with Intel Ethernet and module e1000e
Hi all, I'm facing a serious problem with the e100e kernel module for Intel 82574L gigabit nics on Centos 6. The device eth0 suddenly stops working i.e. no more networking. When I do ifconfig from console I get eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:EA inet6 addr: fe80::225:90ff:fe50:8fea/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:37984 errors:54245436935850 dropped:9040906155975 overruns:0 frame:36163624623900 TX packets:20884 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4431149 (4.2 MiB) TX bytes:4628666 (4.4 MiB) Memory:fb90-fb92 Reported byte count and RX TX packet count is reasonable.
