Why am I Losing Connectivity to Network Devices

Sounds like an IP conflict. Is the server configure for DNS? Which device configures the IP's for the wireless?

You could have the same IP jumping through the hardware layer.

Thank you The.Tinkerer for your response.

Is the server configure for DNS? Yes. The server has a public address with multiple private IP addresses bound
to the NIC.

Which device configures the IP's for the wireless? A Redhat box is configured as a DHCP server on the wireless
network that hands out only public IP addresses. The private addresses are only for management, which is
static on each device.

You could have the same IP jumping through the hardware layer. We have many private (management) IP addresses that are un-reachable simultaneously.

Thank you in advance.

((((i wonder why the "system" always attempts to be smarter than it's std.-default and you))))

Gary, is this you?

Don't you hate it when these computers don't co-operate?

Remember this always, "A computer is just a fast idiot!"

Is this supposed to be helpful? I was looking for honest help on the matter, but the people on this forum are so big headed and full of themselves. Why have a forum with a ton of smart people and leave it open to the public if all you are going to be is condescending and rude to everyone that knows less than you? Isn't that why the forum is here and open to the public and also why they won't turn off anonamous posting? I found out that it is a malfunctioning switch BTW.

Perhaps this is the wrong forum for your question. Yes, there are some people that have grown tired of incomplete descriptions.

I was going to suggest that the switch may be the problem. I recently had to update the firmware with the manufacturers help. But I only figured that out by going to the horses ass mouth.

Some people attempt to use this forum to solve their homework assignments. You only learn by struggling sometimes. If you get kicked around on a forum, it is only an attempt to get you motivated.
