I had/have this problem with my thrid network card which goes to a LAN upstairs. It's happened since moving to a new firewall (hardware changed but HDD stayed).. I moved the cards around and even changed the cards over.
In the end I disabled the card as it was no longer needed but found that it was sharing IRQs which was weird as I changed then in the BIOS but they seemed to still want to have the same IRQ as the other NIC. weird... I was getting a whole lot of errors though on the console.. this isn't possibly what you've got but just thought I'd throw that in... thanks, George Vieira Systems Manager Citadel Computer Systems P/L -----Original Message----- From: Terry Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 19 December 2001 10:19 AM To: Slug List Subject: [SLUG] Dud Network Car? Just checking my thought processes before I start pulling hw apart. The server network looks to be fine, ifconfig reports all interfaces up, but ping always return network/host unreachable or such. Ifconfig shows no packets on eth0 interface. tcpdump only shows messages from this host. At this stage I am thinking that perhaps the network card has died for some reason ( power drops out have been recently occurring) Curiously traceroute shows a line like 1. cissus 2998.99ms !H 2998.99ms !H 2998.99ms !H This has me thinking that perhaps it is as simple as a snafu'ed file from the power outages. netstat -nr is fine with lo line, local network line and gw line. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} Ph(02) 4627 2186 Fax(02) 4628 7861 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures <Bicycles, Books, Computers, GIS> "People without trees are like fish without clean water" -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
