Answer:
Eventhought I could not find an answer to my problem as to what is
causing it
here is a solution to it so if it ever happen again the interface
could be brought up
as soon as it goes down.
The following script will monitor the port on the server, this will
be done at the
crontable.:
#!/bin/csh
#
# Checks for network connection with ping
# If it can not ping router, ifconfig hme0 up
ping 111.111.111.254 15 > /dev/null
if ( $status != 0 ) then
ifconfig hme0 up
/usr/ucb/mail -s "`hostname` hme0 reset @ `date`"
youremailaddress < /dev/null
endif
