I had a problem like this only it was a weekly occurrence. I tracked it down to the network card driver. After swapping out the network card with a different brand/chipset, the problem was resolved. In my case, i had entries in the log related to an overflowed buffer. Packet sizes were very large and like clockwork based on traffic patterns the machine rebooted weekly. This happened to me on 5.21 release. i never got around to looking at the driver code as I talked my employer into buying a 3com card :) Lucas Holt Luke@FoolishGames.com ________________________________________________________ FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging)
