This keeps happening to me: at random times, certain hosts out in net-land
(unix machines) will appear to stop responding.  No connections can be 
opened to them, no matter how many times hit resume or call IP:RESET.
The problem doesn't go away after several hours.  However, some other hosts
will respond, and I don't see the pattern.

I touch three IP hosts regularly: spice.cs.cmu.edu, which is on the other
side of the country; teak.berkeley.edu, which is upstairs; and 
pasteur.berkeley.edu, which is also local.  The most common (but by no 
means exclusive) way that my network gets wedged is that Spice and Pasteur
will seem to stop responding, but Teak won't; and other machines have no
problem connecting to these, so it's not the network itself.

Warm-booting often causes this, but it happens spontaniously as well.
Cold-booting always makes it go away.  I'm using IP 3.43.

Does this happen to anyone else?
