Did you try pinging its address as well as its name?
Yes. I guess I should have written that. It cannot be pinged by its IP address.
As a test, I disabled the primary NIC and configured another NIC on the server to use DHCP. After restarting the network, the 2nd NIC gets a DHCP assigned address which can access the network, however the local network cannot ping its new IP address.
This is very odd. What might be happening?
Some piece of hardware or kernel software could be in a corrupt, inconsistent or otherwise erroneous state. You could just reboot the server in question and chalk it up to cosmic rays. If it happens again soon (or immediately), then start trying to diagnose the fault. Otherwise, fuhgetaboutit... ~~~~~ Ouch! Well, a reboot did occur and that didn't resolve the problem and without anything obvious in the logs I can't, at this moment, diagnose the fault. This is an important server & I can't just forget about it. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The problem could lie within a router or switch. They have complex internal state that can become messed up, too. Reboot everthing in sight...

Could you, by any chance, send your mail with the usual quoting conventions? It's tedious to have to fix it by hand. RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
