[cobalt-users] RAQ3 on & off the network

["Gilles Dumangin" <gilles_dumangin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a very strange problem. Several times (about 10-15 times now), my 
machine is not pingable. I explain myself :

Thursday, a  couple of weeks ago, my machine was unavailable from the 
network. My ISP called my to ask if they should collect the machine for me. 
I could not ping the machine, SSH to it or anything for that matter. I 
thought the machine was switched off or rebooted itself.

The first time it happened for 2 hours, the second time (the next day) for 6 
hours, then very erratically since then for a few hours at a time at 
different times on different days.

I looked in the logs every time the machine is pingable again. There is no 
entry for the times the machine was not pingable. However, asking for a 
status on MySQL tells me the machine has been up for 23 days (since I 
rebooted last).

My questions are:
- Are there any known virus doing that ?
- Could it be a problem at my ISP (they swear there is none) ? If so how do 
I know all the machines on the same subnet to see if the subnet is down.
- Is there any god RAQ3 co-location places in the UK (not too expensive) as 
I am fed up with mine.

Thanks

Gilles
