First, thanks for the reply. The only changes were the recent updates
in potato wrt to Netscape and libc. However, before I was working on
my ipchains rule sets. At times the link would fail, which I ascribed
to some bad rules. So... it was flaky starting last week. Not
sure if it matters but the ipchains -L command would get stuck at
times. From the error messages, it at first glance seems that my
routing is messed up. The routing tables *seem* OK, but of course
I could be overlooking something, which is what I wanted to have
double checked. If the routing is OK, then yes, the cable could be
bad or even one of the cards, I suppose.

The real bummer is I have had a working LAN for a year until now.

Well the link light is on, but the ACK and COL lights are not on .
The ACK light may indicate something, but I'd reckon the COL light
means "collision" which I supoose should not be on.
