Thanks for the response. I might not be up to speed with modules, because these seems odd to me.

inside /etc/modprobe.conf is this: ######################################################################## # Aliases - specify your hardware ######################################################################## install eth0 /bin/true install eth1 /bin/true install tr0 /bin/true install scsi_hostadapter /bin/true install fb0 /bin/true ...you'll notice that the module that eth0 is supposed to be using isnt listed next to it? Is this something new in the 2.6x kernel? However, when I do a lsmod, I get this: tg3 75396 0 ..So, I am assuming is loading somewhere. I'm not just sure where. Any further assistance is appreciated! --Ryan

Hello

I have a Dell 2650 Server that has an onboard NetXtreme BCM5703X (Broadcom) Gigabit Ethernet card. Every few days all IP connectivity will be lost to the box. If i go to the console on the box, I can

localhost and do anything locally, however, I am unable to access

network in anyway. As soon as I reboot network connectivity works fine for X amount of time, until the problems re-occurs.

Has anyone seen this? I am running SLES 9 on this box.

Thanks, Ryan
