Hi! Yes -- there was a backup running at the time that it dropped off the
network. Unfortunately, I didn't think to redirect the output of tcpdump to
a file, so I don't really know what it said. If it happens again, I will
bear this in mind, and try to grab the output.
Thanks!
Ricky

check the nic in the server and/or the switch/hub/router that it is
plugged into. getting an error telling you there is no buffer space
would probably mean that the receive or transmit buffer was full (was
a backup running at the time?) and that it was dropping packets.
what did tcpdump show you?
