Could you be a bit more specific? Do you see this error in a log-file. Or when type a certain command? Which logfile or which command are you talking about?

check dmesg

You have a networking problem.

Could be the card.

Could be the cables.

Could be the hub or router.

Check the back of the machine and make sure the proper link lights and such are on.

Hi,
adding to SEP hints:
since you are having different IP address each time, i suspect that the problem might also be related to a server with DHCP access.

Please confirm that the message is coming from just one server, otherwise you have many server with problems...

Is there a way to disable this message so it won't be display at the console. Everytime it is displayed, the graphic on the screen gets distroyed.

Thanx for you help

Your NIC setup looks ok. What does arp -a and netstat -r return? If either returns errors, or you have servers in the netstat output you cannot identify, that would be your most likely culprit.

The SCSI errors in the dmesg output are most likely not related and point to other problems.
