If it is a hardware error on my server (NIC, cable, anything on the physical layer...), wouldn't I be seeing CRC errors or something? Shouldn't I be seeing something i.e. in the ifconfig error counters or the like? If it's somewhere else in the data center (router/switch), then there's really no way for me to know. I could contact support, but that request would be much to vague to be any useful ("You've probably got some broken hardware somewhere...") and they probably wouldn't care anyway unless more customers were affected. If it's a middle box somewhere along the way, that's even worse. Even more different people potentially involved... > Try power cycling. Did that, no change. So, the plan now is to just sit it out, keeping an eye on things... Regards, Sean
