Re: [PLUG] What causes this networking weirdness?
|
Can you ping the machine when the ssh session hangs?
What are the load averages on the machine during the hang?
What do the system logs show during the hang? (i.e. /var/log/*)
At a guess, it's most likely NOT a DNS problem. I had a similar problem
with a laptop. I eventually traced the problem to the kernel unloading the
ethernet card module. I never really figured out why and just recompiled
the kernel with the ethernet module compiled into the kernel and the
problem went away.
