[linux-help] Re: Ethernet problem

["Longhofer, Michael W" <Michael.Longhofer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have seen this kind of problem come up when you have two machines with the
same IP address.  If you have a PC with the same IP address as the server
then when the PC is turned on, it will cause problems with both the server
and it connections.  I hope that this helps.
