I suppose we all know something about networking, but this is hardware/driver related problem ( with the highest probability ). I used my server in two different environments - at home and now at serverhouse. No difference. Still getting (from time to time ): sk0: watchdog timeout sk0: link state changed to DOWN sk0: watchdog timeout sk0: link state changed to UP sk0: watchdog timeout sk0: link state changed to DOWN sk0: watchdog timeout sk0: link state changed to UP sk0: watchdog timeout sk0: link state changed to DOWN messages. But server still running. I am out of ideas how can we solve our problem and I am about to buy new network card, because this stressfull situation is not good. ;-) Vladimir
