Network issue with WOODY

[Robert Webb <rwebb@ropeguru.com>]

Hi all,

  I tried searching the archives with no luck. I have a standard load 
of Debian running and am constantly having problems with the network not 
responding when trying to connect to the box. No matter waht I try to 
hit, smtp ssh web, it will not respond unless I try and re-connect many 
times. Once on of the ports accepts a copnnection the rest start working 
also. It is almost like the NIC is going to sleep.

I have all power management turned off in the bios and was wondering if 
there was something in Woody that has changed. I ran the previous 
versions of Debian in the same setup with no problems.

I am at a loss here and any help wouild be appreciated. And if you need 
anymore info I will be ahppy to provide it.


Thanks...
