[plug] eth0 problem

When booting, or restarting network in the Mandrakelinux Control
Center, I have been getting a [failed] indication for eth0.
The logs show no errors. Network access is possible, however transfer
times for similar-sized  files are quite variable.  Sometimes, but
not today, ifconfig reports dropped packets.

Just to be perverse, just now restarting network service worked!

I have 4 computers on the network. 2 are on, one is off completely,
and the 4th is off but I can ping it.

Any thoughts?

Jim
