Hi, Everything was OK for a couple of months,then when I changed Ethernet switch (10/100MB same bandwith diferent make)I can't ping nothing in the LAN. At boot a have the folowing error message: "/usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx:unable to get my IP address:gethostbyname(my_host)failed [h_errno:???(-1)]" LED indicators on switch and NIC are working fine,I have changed the RJ45 connectors,even connected the cable to the previous Ethernet switch!!!Still I have the same problem. If someone has any idea...please it is urgent!!!
