Hi, Sometimes my network hangs up (I can not ping outside, I can ping on localhost). Usually it happends once every 3 or 4 days. I'm currently running 2.2.1 kernel, but it always happened (kernels 2.0.36 to 2.2.1). For a long time, I though it was due to my network card (3com 3C905BTX2). I used to reboot the computer, and everything worked fine after ... for 3/4 days.
I get messages like this one when the network hangs: Feb 11 02:18:52 groumph kernel: Socket destroy delayed (r=0 w=320) Now, I discovered that doing: # ifconfig eth0 down # bash /etc/init.d/network reconnects me on the network. I keep all my old connections, rlogins, windows sent from other computers ... Do you have a clue about what is happening ? How could I avoid it ? (not having to open a root shell and type in commands ...). Thanks in advance ! Vdb -- \\|// VDB g (O O) ~~~~OOO~(_)~oOOO~~~ <:o) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] :-xxx ~~~~ooO~~~~~Ooo~~~~ ~~:-)
