I swapped the 2 network cards, putting the Ariadne 2 in the second slot,
and the X-surf in the 3rd slot and the problem has gone away, but I am not
using the second network card very much right now. So, I can't be sure
that it is really fixed.

I would like to setup nfs between the 2 servers on the private network.
So, I will be using the X-surf network card much more than I am now. I
think that I will have a problem finding another Ariadne 2, so I want to
make sure that I rule out everything else before looking for another card.
So, I have attached my ifconfig.*.

ifconfig.ne0
209.160.39.6 netmask 255.255.248.0 media 10baset

ifconfig.ne1
10.10.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baset

Please let me let me know what your thoughts are about this problem.

Thanks,
Al
