[nylug-talk] odd network dying problem

[David Blackman]

hey all-

	I've been having this random problem since I've gotten to
stanford with the network connectivity on my linux box.

	After about 2 - 4 days of uptime, my box gets what I like to
call "the tcp/ip plague".

	-I cannot get outside the stanford network over tcp/ip (ssh,
web, pop3, aim all timeout).
	-Inside the stanford network is fine (ssh-ing to a stanford
shell server, web to a stanford website).
	-I can ssh/ftp in to my box from the outside world.
	-I can resolve names just fine
	-I can ping sites just fine
	*THE WIERDEST PART*
	-the windows box that this computer is NAT-ing has perfectly
fine internet connectivity. *Perfect*. It's *wierd*.
	-a reboot fixes all this

	This happened in both 2.4.18 and 2.4.20. Flushing my iptables
doesn't fix it. Both an eepro and a tulip card exhibit these symptoms.
