Hello! This has happened twice to me already within a month of uptime... The machine is 486DX66 running -stable circa March 1998. It has two net interfaces -- de0 and ep0 (ISA bus, of course). de0 connects it to the world through a cable modem and ep0 connects it to the local net. The problem is, the ep interface locks up sometimes. After heavy network activity, I might add (last time it was shortly after running a cvsup on one of the machines on local net, updating the -stable tree on the firewall machine over NFS). There is no NATD running, just the user-space socks5. The symptoms are: * pinging local net machines from the gateway machine says: "No buffer space available" * pinging the gateway machine from local net machines says: "Host is down" * local net machines continue to ping each other just fine * all lights on the hub are fine * the other (de0) interface is functional, machine is accessible from the Internet, continues to receive mail, etc. To heal the situation I had to (no rebooting, no): ifconfig ep0 down ifconfig ep0 up Any ideas?
