Subject: network card going to sleep????
Hi Folks:
I have a bit of a curious problem here. I have a Fedora Core
4 P4 HT box with a Intel Pro/1000 NIC in it that seems to go
to sleep at random times. If I try to SSH to it, or access
the web site that it serves (it's a snort box and it serves
BASE) I get no response, but if I ping it, I can get it. I
am beginning to wonder if FC4 has some new feature that is
powering down or autosleeping the card or something. Can
someone suggest a solution or at least where to look
Thanks

if you can ping the NIC I'd assume its fine. During the times when it
fails are you getting no response or a host unreachable error of some
kind? What happens when you type:
netcat
remote.host-that.is.failing.com 22
Its possible the hard drive is going to sleep and it is taking a while
to spin back up. What steps do you take to make it come back up? Does
it stay down until you reboot the box?
