I was able to log on through second functional interface and watch it more closely. Sending packets from the box worked (its arp requests were appearing on other boxes in the subnet) but it could not receive any packet. And another thing... It seems that running tcpdump (ie. entering and leaving promiscuous mode) on the interface resolved the problem and made the machine to appear back on the network. It's running with no problem from that moment. Any ideas what's going on here? Does it make sense to anyone? Dan
