Do you have trouble connecting *from* the box? If not, then the NIC
is probably not going to sleep.
What kind of network do you have. The symptoms you list typically
indicate a network problem. What error do you get when you try to
connect? Does it hang? Does it reject the connection? If you wait a
long time does the connection work out?
Is your system doing some sort of reverse DNS lookup? Make sure your
/etc/hosts file is good, and /etc/resolv.conf has hosts before bind.
I hope this gives you a couple of straws to clutch on. More
details would help us help you.
Cheers!
