Hi Bernhard,

thanks for your message. I suppose we all know something about
networking, but this is hardware/driver related problem ( with the
highest probability ). I used my server in two different environments -
at home and now at serverhouse. No difference.
Still getting (from time to time ):

sk0: watchdog timeout
sk0: link state changed to DOWN
sk0: watchdog timeout
sk0: link state changed to UP
sk0: watchdog timeout
sk0: link state changed to DOWN
sk0: watchdog timeout
sk0: link state changed to UP
sk0: watchdog timeout
sk0: link state changed to DOWN

messages. But server still running. I am out of ideas how can we solve
our problem and I am about to buy new network card, because this
stressfull situation is not good. ;-)
