hey all, poomba:~ $ uname -a FreeBSD poomba.magpage.com 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #1: Tue Mar 27 15:16:21 EST 2001 root@poomba.magpage.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FBSD4-6 i386 Over the last week or so I've made/built world a few times so I'm not sure exactly when this started, but lately I've been experiencing total loss of network connectivity on my workstation. By that I mean any current connection I have(ssh sessions, etc.) freeze up and I'm unable to ping my default gateway or other hosts on my subnet. For a while now(weeks,months...) I've been seeing a bunch of these messages in dmesg... dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state ...which I've noticed that others were seeing as well, although until recently there weren't any other symptoms of any problem. After losing connectivity again just a few minutes ago I noticed something new in dmesg... dc0: TX underrun -- increasing TX threshold ...but I'm not sure that that's pertinant since according to the timestamp in messages that happened around 1am this morning, well before I even got in to work. Each time I've lost connectivity over the past few days the only way I've been able to restore it was to reboot. Taking the interface down and bringing it back up doesn't work. Any insight? Anything else I can try to recover without having to reboot? Any additional info I can provide that may be helpful next time this happens? Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Frazier <dfrazier@magpage.com> Tel: 302-239-5900 Ext. 231 Systems Administrator Fax: 302-239-3909 MAGPAGE, We Power the Internet WWW: http://www.magpage.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
