Hi, all. I have 3 debian linux machines on one subnet along with some other windows machines. (Only) resently (within a week), these linux boxes are suffering from temporary network outage while the windows machines goes well. Specifically, They lose connection with the gateway (pinging gateway fails) every a few minutes, and this network outage last for half to one minute.
One of the debian machines also have windows 2k installed, when running w2k on that machine, the problem does not happen. All these indicate that some resent change on the network configuration have introduced compatibility problem between the debian machines and the subnet swithchers. (Since one of the debian boxes have not updated for more than a month, the probability that the problem is introduced in a resent debian update is low.) But I just don't where to start to diagnose the problem, i.e. what logs to look in for possible reasons, what test to take, and what are possible solutions. The problem's random timing behaviour made it even harder. So, if anyone has experienced such problem or has good suggestions on diagnosing, please do help me.
