Hello Group,

The other night, one of the Centos units locked up and I had to reboot to
get it to work.  

In the GUI, Network Status Details 
 Current Status  
     The network interface eth1 is down.

The light on the unit for eth0 shows activity but the light on eth1 is solid
(mostly) and I cannot gain access through that eth1 IP.  I ran yum updates
and rebooted.  It switched where eth0 was solid and eth1 had the activity
and I could access eth1 only.  Using Putty, I had to shut it down completely
and start it back up to get eth0 back to working so I could get access for
websites.  Eth1 is still not accessible.

I have all the latest yum updates (the updates did not help).

I ran "netstat -rn" and I do not see eth1.  The line for the eth1 interface
(XXX.XXX.XXX.102) is missing
[root@ns1 ~]# netstat -rn

Running the following commands:
[root@ns1 network-scripts]# ifdown eth1
[root@ns1 network-scripts]# ifup eth1
e1000 device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
[root@ns1 network-scripts]# ifconfig eth1
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found



ANY IDEAS???
