hardware problem ?

[Vu Pham]

This morning my  server ( RH 7.2  kernel 2.4.20 ) suddenly failed its
networking functions. This server has 3 network cards eth0, eth1, and eth2.

I still could login to it. top and ps does not show me anything strange
except this line
root       786     1  0 11:25 ?        00:00:00 [eth2]
Restarting /etc/initt.d/network did not help.

>From the server, I could not ping or telnet to any other site.

The only network operation I could see it from the outside is ARP. After I
pinged unsuccesfully that server from my workstatiom, I can see its MAC
address on my workstation.

What does that process [eth2] mean ?

Any tips that I can find the problem ?

Thanks,

Vu
