I recently migrated my home server from SPARC Solaris to PPC Debian. The transition was remarkably smooth and I have been humming along for nearly a week. Sometime late Saturday, however, my Debian box "dropped off" as far as my 2wire DSL router is concerned. It no longer shows up as an attached device and as such, the router stopped port forwarding. I could blame the router, but reactivating the SPARC server yielded a postive identification. Re-IPing the Debian system with a different IP address still resulted in the device not showing up. I've swapped cables, switch ports, rebooted, etc. The Debian system can get out through the router fine and the router can ping the Debian, DNS is good, etc. Working on the belief that rpc might be needed to register the device, I look and see that it's running. Nothing in syslog looks suspicious.
I'm embarrassed to say I'm out of ideas, but...well, I am. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users. http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/?link=list&sid=396546091
