Nope. Didn't help. Actually this is my mother's machine. She has been using it for almost a year, never had any problem. The problem started when I, sua sponte, tried to change the hostname from the default "unknown" to something less idiotic. I immediately changed back (by removing the /etc/nodename file), but the problem persists. I think somehow the hostname "unknown" must have been cached somewhere. And, as I discussed in my reply to Ignacio, this problem might have been associated with the e1000g NIC. But I have no idea. Any further help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
