    one special thing with ping is that it tells the "pinged" box to refresh
    its arp-entry about the host that pings

    can you be sure nothing was changed regarding ethernet / macaddress?

    you wrote
    >however if I ping from another machine it comes back without any
    problem.

    does that mean it could only communicate with the node that pinged or
    with all other hosts?

    Subject: 7028 6C4 - Aix 5.1 - problem on login

    Hi sys admins,

    I have a 7028 6C4 machine (actually 3 in a rack) that few times when i
    try to telnet to the machine from another unix box the login stops
    before connected to aixtest08, Escape character is '^]' and hangs
    there...

    when I got to the console, the machine cannot communicate to any other
    box; however if I ping from another machine it comes back without any
    problem.

    I needed to reboot the box.

    Do you have any idea or clues of what is going on.

    This happens on two machines of same type 7028 6c4 that are racked
    together. Could this be a temperature issue, it is very hot near the
    boxes. ?

    thank you all for your help.
