Can you check the system logs and see if anything starts up / happens in between when your network is working and when you start having problems. Maybe also try a process list before and after and see if anything new is running. I'm guessing that that could help rule out any firewall or network filtering problems. - Owen -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
