Hi,
I have a strange ethernet problem my local server:

It has been working fine since last reboot. now I cat get ethernet cards (two) to work.

lspci shoes them:
Via ... VT6105
Realtek RTL-8139

on /etc/modules.conf I have
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 via-rhine

route shoes (i'm only including one interface)
192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

iptables -L shoes all ACCEPT

i can ping eth1 IP 192.168.10.5 but cant ping other internal machines, neither the switch on 192.168.10.1

I quite puzzled, any hints on where I should look for errors are VERY helpfull

Regards

check the wires
posible messages in
just after you boot..
also check the /var/log/messages when you try to restart the network.....
