Network stopping

wedge40 · 01-08-2008, 12:44 PM

I have an Asus A8V-XE motherboard with integrated ethernet card. I installed Fedora 7 and the networking will stop randomly. It might run for a day or two or it might stop after a coupel of hours. A reboot will bring it back.
I'm not at the machine but later I can post the ifconfig of the stopped network and then after a reboot I can post the working one.
If no one has any idea's how to fix this, coudl someone tell me how to start and stop the networking without having to reboot each time.

As root:

Code:

service network restart

or

Code:

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

(substitute actual ethernet name as appropriate; eth1, eth2,...)
--- rod.

Tried both of these. The network will shut down but when it starts up I get a flurry of messages then ulitmately it locks up. I wish I knew why the network was stopping.
Still in reboot mode. When I shut down it shuts down clean with no error messages.
