Since you are running CentOS 3 I am assuming this server has been in production for some time. Did these symptoms just start? Did you do any updates before this started happening? Did you install this equipment, or did you assume admin duties from someone else? Maybe it had the HP net driver installed, and a kernel update broke that. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
