I have been having problems recently with two Sun-4/xxx servers. The servers are connected together along with 3 other Sun3/xxx servers on two separate local area networks connected by a LAN bridge. Approximately every two hours the two Sun 4/xxx servers will become invisible to the rest of the network. After up to two minutes in this state they will recover to be back in normal operation. I have tried to monitor the packets on the Sun 4/xxx section of the network only to find that their aren't any. This would explain the problem. But why do the systems pull themselves back together as though nothing had happenned. Has anyone out there had this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?
