Dear all, On my newly installed Debian pre1.2 box, I was able to do a lot of netowrking and all of a sudden all network connections are lost. The machine is not locked up but is isolated from the world (even machines on the same network cannot be reached). The /var/log/messages file recorded pages of trouble with syslogd and klogd:
---- Dec 6 12:46:07 sedpc45 syslogd 1.3-0#11: restart.

Now I just rebooted it and the network comes up again. But no boot up messgaes were recorded in /var/log/messages. My system: 16MB 486-33 ISA generic machine using the 3c509 ethernet driver. Debian pre1.2 running kernel 2.0.25. sysklog_1.3-11 Can someone shed some light on it? Is it the kernel? TIA, -- Billy C.-M.
