Thank you all: most of you said it's because of the switch failing, as Allan West explains: ----------------------------------------- One of our switches flaked out and died. While it was on it's way out, it would reflect packets with a machine's MAC address and IP address back to the host in such a way that Solaris saw it as another machine trying to steal the address. Replacing the switch fixed the problem. ----------------------------------------- Adam ---------- original question ---------- > > An hour ago our ethernet network went down because of the failure of a > switch.
