    Did it work ok previously, but just start failing? It might be a
    hardware problem. I have an Octane with a flaky network adapter
    and when it decides to misbehave, I see the same symptoms you're
    reporting. Sometimes a few power cycles will bring it back.
    Other times, I have to power the machine down and unplug it for
    a couple hours before the network adapter reappears. When I
    asked about possible solutions here and from SGI, I believe
    the answer was that the only real fix for the problem would
    likely be a motherboard swap.
