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

Yes I have seen this many of times. What driver are you loading. The TG3 driver from RedHat or the bcm5700 driver? Brad On Wed, 2004-11-10 at 12:15, Ryan McCain wrote:
