After this I lost control of that pc (I was remotely administering it). The machine responds to pings and forwards packets as well, but if I try to telnet or ssh to it, I connect to that box but no login prompt appear. I dont have physical access to that box and so I wait for 1 week for someone to go there and reboot it, but I am very curious why this situation happened. Is it normal to happen when u use unmount -f on nfs mounted drives??? I am running 4.7-p2 and I dont have any noticable problems. The gateway machine is a diskless machine with local mounted discs for storing files only. Thanks in advance!!! - --- We are being monitored..but there is a solution...
