It is doubtful anyone here would have run the "ifconfig down" command. But thanks for the information. What is more likely is that I am not looking in the proper place for the log I need to track down the problem. Assuming that I did not change the default where, besides /var/log, would I look for messages that may point to a problem?

This normally doesn't generate any logging.

SLES9 for S/390 (64-bit) in an LPAR > (no VM) using a shared IFL I have one other LPAR running SLES9 64-bit I ran uname -a which shows: Linux techlnux 2.6.5-7.201-s390x #1 SMP Thu Aug 25 06:20:45 UTC 2005 s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux I ran netstat -rn and it returned nothing only the column headings. I tried to ping the IP address of my system and it responded. I also successfully pinged the gateway IP 10.128.24.1. But I could not ping 10.128.26.1 or any other address. I ran "route add default gw 10.128.24.1" which re-established connectivity with the outside world. Just like I never lost communications. I searched the log files looking for a message but I didn't see anything. Does anyone have a suggestion where I might find a message showing why connectivity was suddenly dropped? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
