Intermittent connectivity loss with em(4)

[Doug Hardie]

I am a bit surprised about that.  I used to see a number of messages when there were issues.  Most of them were the em connection down/up.  The only remaining things I can think of are to reboot the machine and run the ping till you get some failures.  Then run "netstat -s".  Look for non-zero numbers.  That may provide a clue.  If that fails run tcpdump on the inteface while pinging and see if the packets are actually going out and if anything is received in return.  You might also ping the first router on the way out and see if that is also dropping packets.

Messages during operation are written to /var/log/messages.  Check there to see if there is anything that correlates with the outages.
