Having issues with my ClearOS setup - every 24-48 hours or so I have to reboot the server in order for it to pass traffic to the internet again. I've tried removing packages that are not needed/used - so no SAMBA, IPS, Proxy, etc. Basically it's all of the sudden, traffic just drops to nothing. Also the logs are not much help - other than the traffic logs showing me that zero packets are being sent. It's getting pretty annoying to reboot every day or two. I've seen some posts related to issues with Intel NIC's / drivers so not sure if that's the issue. Pretty sure my motherboard is running Intel I211AT chipset. For reference it's a Jetway NF9N motherboard plus the 4 port NIC daughter board. Using the onboard NIC as the WAN interface and one the daughter board NIC's as the inside interface. Any assistance troubleshooting would be helpful. I don't know much about linux commands, so if you want me to post logs, output's, whatever, you'll have to give me the exact command to run.

Using the latest ClearOS 7.1.0

Thanks!

    In the past the 82574L has had a problem driver which later versions appeared to fix. I am not sure at which point they were fixed, but I have later kmod one compiled here. Please can you download it, install it then reboot. Then check if it is being used by doing a "modinfo e1000e". It should give you a version number containing 3.1.0.2.

    I'm afraid I can't test the driver myself as I have neither a ClearOS 7 installation not an e1000e card.

    It's the Intel chipset.

    Ben -

    When it craters, yes, I can ping the LAN side and get to the web interface. I haven't tried SSH when it happens, so can't say for sure. No, I can't ping anything on the Internet.

    Here is the output - it went down around 8:15 or so last night.

    I don't see anything specific in the dmesg output, but not sure what I'm looking for either. But nothing that says error or failed.

    Thanks.

    Which 4-port card are you using? The one with the Intel 85247L chip or the RTL8111 chip? Can you give the output to:
    lspci -k | grep Eth -A 3

    You need to narrow things down...

    For example, during an 'outage':

    1. Can you ping the LAN IP of the server?
    2. Can you ssh to the ClearOS server?
    3. Can you ping googe.com from the server CLI?
    4. Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from the server CLI?
    5. What is the status of your network (according to syswatch)..."cat /var/log/syswatch"
    6. Anything interesting in dmesg output?
