Re: Ethernet deafness

There was a  fairly lengthy discussion of this issue on MacFixIt last year.
There seem to be several potential issues associated with MAC OS 8.6, but
the biggest revolves around Ethenet, and  DHCP.  You might check out -

And by the way, MacFixIt is the best starting spot I'm aware of for obscure
Mac problems.

Hi again, I've had a fairly stable setup on my Power Mac 7300/200 128MB RAM OS 8.6 for a while now, but over the last week, it's becoming periodically 'deaf' to any network activity & requires a restart to be able to ping it from another machine or to access either WebTen or NetTen. I have asked about this beforem, but have never seen anything in the way of a real answer. This has occured straight after 2 complete installs of the Mac OS, following reformatting of the drive, as well as after month's of running without the problem. Any ideas?
