RE: [Xen-users] Very Strange network problem

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Did you get round to trying this? I still have this issue.

My work around at the moment is to run a constant ping using screen to a non 
alive IP on the same subnet, don't ask me why but it keeps the network stable.

Thanks

Ian

I am experienced pretty much the same thing. I though it was possibly
my nic, but more likely the bridging itself. I have a spare machine
that's exhibiting the same symptoms so I will play with it a bit more
today and tomorrow and see if I can dig up anything else useful. I'd
be open to discussing off list if you want to work together
troubleshooting further.
