Hi,
I have being encountering a weird problem on my freebsd 6 , one of my
remote
machine being down frequently lately for no particular reason, when I
go to
the remote site to check then machine it was in good running condition
but
no network, it even can't ping the server on the same subnet, the only
way
to restore it back is by running:
route -n flush && /etc/netstart
but because it a remote machine it really troublesome to do that each
time
the machine is down, I resorted to use a crontab scripts to automatically
run the previous command when it down, even tho that partial of the
problem
is solve I still need to know what causing it. can anyone could advise me
where to start digging?? they is no any particular error in the log or
dmseg
when the machine dropped it connection so I'm stuck here don't know
where to
start, some help should clear something up for me
TQ
This sounds vaguely similar to what I've experienced myself with an
onboard em0 on a Supermicro mainboard. NIC suddenly stopped working for
no appearent reason. Believing the NIC was bad I throw in an extra NIC
and ran the machine from that. But within a month a capacitor blew in
the PSU and when I replaced the PSU the onboard NIC worked again. This
scenario repeated 3 times in exactly the same way before I switched to
another PSU brand and haven't had any problems since. In my case I
couldn't get the NIC running with a simple flushing of the routes
though. But if nothing has changed in the software on the machine you
should probably start looking at the hardware.

Is it on DHCP? Sounds like it's lost the lease or the default route?
