Hi, John Walubengo wrote:
My RH9 box has two interfaces to the internet (one for students the other for staff). In the last two days, my squid has been failing by simply closing off one of the (staff) interfaces!
And then after some hours both interfaces then suddenly work...only for the staff to fail again after some hours! Other services (mail, web, ftp) on the same box continue working except that I when I try to ssh into the box I find that 'connection is refused'. I have removed the firewall (service iptables stop) but these symptoms keep recurring irrespective of the firewall status. What could be the problem?
Are you certain that there isn't another box on the network with the same IP address - that could cause these problems.
When it's refusing ssh connections try running nmap -O against it to find out what OS, etc. it's running. Also check syslog to see if there are any messages about duplicate addresses.
