Twice in the past three days (since some apt-get upgrading) my network connection (ethernet via wireless router) has stopped working. Not completely -- I can still connect to external news servers and via ssh to my ISP, but SMTP connections (e.g. fetchmail) and web connections time out.
It might seem port-related, but lsof shows no process owning (for instance) port 80. It might seem like a misconfigured ipchains, but then why would rebooting fix the problem? I'm at a loss. Debian Sarge, upgraded a few hours ago. I tried downing eth0 and running dhclient, which didn't help. I tried rmmodding the natsemi module (for my Ethernet card) and modprobing it, which also didn't help. Nothing obviously useful in any of the logs. Any suggestions appreciated. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
