Yup. Put a new NIC in and it's working great again. Box is on a UPS, as is
the switch it is cabled to via Ethernet. That's all it's got, keyboard,
Ethernet, and power - don't know why it got toasted, and slightly puzzled
(but not enough to dwell on it) by being able to ping own IP address, I
thought this was kind of a hardware test as it looped back passing through
the card twice. Guess it was just a weird electrical failure.
