thing's i'd try: 1) ping the default gateway 2) ping the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf 3) run 'host -t ANY redhat.com' (or pick some other domain name to test against) 4) traceroute to some IP (feel free to trace to my IP 216.39.174.24, though this IP is not pingable) outside your network 5) try lynx -dump www.cisco.com (or pick some other site(s)) 6) try to telnet to 198.133.219.25 port 80 and type 'GET /' (this is cisco.com's IP) 7) repeat the above steps for as many differnet hosts as you can if you get troubles then install tcpdump and run it, look at the output, it may give more hints. Though if you've never used tcpdump it may not be easy to understand what it's telling you. I am assuming these problems started before the recent worm outbreak which has wrecked a bit of havok on some parts of the internet. be sure the network configuration is correct, IP, Netmask, Broadcast addresses. Having the wrong broadcast or netmask can cause sporadic problems (it should just stop working but in many cases despite incorrect configs it may still work at least part of the time). check the cable, and switch. if it's a good switch it'll have a serial console or some other method to monitor it(maybe the link is going up and down for some reason). Check the kernel log(dmesg) for any kernel errors(perhaps driver problem). nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
