RE: Telnet Issue

[Ralph Grothe]

lan900 looks like an auto port aggregated NIC if I remember correctly.
I remember there was an hp_apa_util to do a few checks but I can't get hold of a box where we use the HP APA package.
Maybe if you look for some init script like /sbin/init.d/hp*apa* and try to restart it?
There isn't any connectivity now anyway, so it won't really hurt, albeit it might be futil either?

you should take network traces from the system , the peer system and the switch and router if there is one between the 2 systems.
try telnet in one way, try telnet in the other way
same with ping,
see where packet are disapearing in the trace

are you sure to don't have a duplicate ip?

Check arp data from the system, switch, routers,
