[plug] stalled network

[Alex Polglaze]

G'day All,

Here is the problem.

Friday night I sent out a large e-mail to a large list, (not my 
preferred way od doing it), anyway,

It slowed my whole system down for 24 hours, i.e. keystroke 1 1/2 hours 
later, response. That is slow.

I let the system run and now everything is back to normal, well almost, 
except for the network. I cannot make any connection to the box via any 
of the networked terminals.

I have checked top and usage is only 0.3% with nothing running and no 
zombies etc.

Question is, how do I reset the network going or do I just take the 
windows option and reboot?

All help appreciated.

Alex
