I just answered this question in another too. Under a heavy load the eepro100 driver tends to drop out on the network. The eepro100 tends to complain about 'out of network resources' frequently under load and sometimes drops out. To fix reset the networking I put a cron '/etc/init.d/networking restart' script in place to work around the problem. Restarting would reset the network for us after a dropout. We changed to the Intel e100 driver direct from the Intel site and the problem went away. Bob
