Hi,

of course now that I am paying much attention to the problematic boxes, they
work fine.

The only thing that I did was to change the autonegociating on lan to full
dupplex.

If this happens again I will let you know.

thank you to all who kindly send me ideas on what was the problem.

From the console try to restart inetd and see if that fixes it next time.

Harold,

actually I haven't fixed yet.
The problem is I needed to get the machine back on the network fast and I
rebooted. When rebooting all goes away.

I believe it is not dns issue because it did try to telnet using i.p.
instead of name and the result was the same.

the problem is really strange.

I can ping from other machine to the problematic box.
I cannot telnet to the problematic box.

from the console, I cannot ping or telnet to any other machine.
I cannot ping even to the machine itself.

funny, uh!.

thank you

Late responce to this thread, you probably already have it fixed. In my
experience, this kind of symptom usually has been associated with a reverse
DNS issue. Suggest you do a nslookup and resolve forward and reverse from
pinging and pinged boxes.

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.
