[TriLUG] more network service problems

[Douglas Kojetin]

thanks for the response david-

re: dmesg -- no errors show up. at the bottom is a portion of what i 
see.

re: iptables -- i ran all the commands you listed, but they did not 
help. also, when i reboot, and restart 'network' ... it uses iptables 
(see dmesg), even though i turned off iptables using chkconfig and 
service.

re: hardware issues, not sure where to start. oddly, although i 'lose' 
network service (in and out), the green light on the network card is on 
regardless of network status (it does not turn off when the network 
drops).

i also stopped all serviced i did not need on this box (cups, apm 
[thought that might help since this box is old old old], nfs, pcmcia, 
sendmail), but that has not helped either. i don't think it's the 
network cord because the green light on the network card still turns on 
...

any more thoughts?

thanks,
doug
