Re: NIC stops working suddenly

Hi Mohammad

I've previously seen a similar problem where the NIC is set to
autonegotiate

but the LAN switch port is hard coded to 100Mbps full duplex. You might

want to check that both are set to the same.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi lis,

I have a RHEL 3 update 4 OS, my NIC suddenly stops working and there is
no lights flushing (green and orange) if i leave the server for a while
(like one hour). But when i do service network restart, life goes back
to NIC and all the lights flushing normally and ping works great, but
also after a while the NIC dies again.... it needs service network
restart every while.

I checked system logs --> kernel: tg3: eth0: link is down.

I also checked the /etc/modprobe.conf, alias eth0 tg3

I had no network-manager service

is it hardware problem or there is something that just froze the NIC or
what??

I really appreciate your help

Regards

Mohammad
