Okay, here's the situation
1) I'm running 3.4-stable, cvs'd about a week ago
2) I have a cable modem for my upstream
3) I have a bsd box with a static IP, running an SMP kernel with 2
processors
4) I have a windows 98 box running dhcp, pulling it's IP from a
different network than the one my static IP is on
5) these machines plug into a hub, not each other. the cable modem
is the uplink.
I have periods of time (about 10-15 minutes each, usually) where my BSD
box just completely loses it's connection (it can't ping it's gateway,
which is one hop down the line, across the cable modem). My windows 98
box has no problems maintaining connectivity. The BSD box's link goes
down, and then comes back up without any messages whatsoever. My upstream
insists that it can't possibly be a problem on their end, but I think
they're full of it.
Oddly enough, rebooting the BSD box seems to cure the problem (for about a
minute, then it goes back to being dead)
Is there any situation in which a BSD box could do this by itself (the
link down/up)?

The opinions expressed above are mine alone, but I'm a sharing kind of
guy - you can have them too if you wish.
