That could be doing it ... if the driver does not properly support the link detection or if you have a flacky cable.

That didn't do it. I looked up the ifplugd daemon. From the man page: "ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled..."
I guess the next step is to turn that off and see what happens.
Thanks, John

Michael,
It's a Compaq NC3121 Fast Ethernet NIC (WOL) using the eepro100 module. It sounds like the situation you described. When I re-ran config, I
disabled the Network Hotplugging option. That could be the watchdog
you're referring to. I'll post my results.
Thanks, John

Hello,
I think that the problem starts with:

1. What type of network card do you have ? 2. What module / driver are you using ?
and what is "ifplugd" ? I have never seen this ?
Right now I would assum that either your module is not compatible with the card. I experienced simular problems with the old eepro module and on-board intel cards with compaq desktops.
The card would just stop responding to traffic completely.
You could start by disabling the software version of WATCHDOG, I say software because from my understanding a watchdog device is designed to watch hardware and restart the sytem if a problem occurs. These are usally hardware devices.
The software version of WATCHDOG could be disabling the card or trying to reset it.
Michael.

I'm running a Mandrake 10.1 setup and I lose my local network connection when I log out of X. Below is the output from my logs - hosts have been changed to protect the innocent :-). The symptom manifests itself on the line "nfs: server remotemachine not responding, timed out". External network access is maintained, but anything local is lost. The only way I can restore the connection is by rebooting the machine. Any ideas of things to check?
Thanks,
John
