[WBEL-users] 2.4.21-15.0.3.EL

[Nayana Hettiarachchi]

I have noticed a smilar behavior on one of my White Boxes (
2.4.21-15.0.3.EL #1 Mon Jul 5 00:57:51 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386
GNU/Linux) where the network interface just stops acepting ping
requests from my laptop, if i goto the console i can ping back to my
machine and then in a little bit the interface is alive for me, i
changed the network card thinking it might help and it hasnt, this
doesnt happen every single minute but sometimes happen so often to
iritate me, but i;ve been cluless as to what to do,
