I have a strange problem that has appeared on a system. It is running SME v5.5 with update6 installed. The motherboard is VIA EPIA 800MHz all in one mini-itx. I have setup 8 other systems with the same configuration and have been running for months without a problem.
The system has 2 network cards an on-board plus one other. The on-board is connected to the internal LAN and the other a ADSL modem. On 2 occations in the last 8 days the on-board LAN seems to have hung. I can still ping any internet sites as well as the local IP address but no other internal IP's.
As a temporary fix I restart the network eg: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
The network ran fine for 4 days and happened again. below is what I have found in the messages log file.
Any ideas to point me in the right direction. I am thinking that it is possibly a faulty NIC???
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Craig
