RE: [CentOS] System drops off network after a few minutes
The system turned out to have a flaky motherboard. It's not worth fixing so I think I am just going to punt it:) Thanks for all the info, it was insightful and will help me in the future! jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'd do a simple ifconfig first. Networking can be restarted with service network restart. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Darn, never looked there (my bad). I will get it up again this weekend and attempt the wireshark dump and make sure I save the dmesg log. JIC it is not apparent, dmesg after net drop. Remember that dmesg is always available, not just after boot. But saving an after boot one might be good too, here.

if it literally drops in a few minutes, run wireshark and leave it capturing all traffic on the LAN interface until it craps. then stop the capture, and look at the last set of packets. John, I am sure I can stoke this up, but how do I analyze the traffic after? Its sitting idle when this happens, so I suspect there shouldn't be much anyway! jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Its sitting idle when this happens, so I suspect there shouldn't be much anyway! wireshark shows the packets symbolically, in a tree form, where you can open up and examine the fields of any packet, most all protocols are formatted nicely.the traffic the last couple seconds before it dies could be quite interesting, and may well help you solve this. you might capture the output of `ifconfig -a` both before and after it fails, and compare. is this using DHCP or static IP ? are there any events related to networking at the end of the `dmesg` output right after it bonks ? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
