[NTLUG:Discuss] Is there a such 'low power standby' phenomenons?

[Paul Ingendorf]

What kind of network are you on; DSL @HOME other cable provider using pppoe dhcp static?  Also what flava are you using.   From your previous posts I see possible @HOME with redhat 6.2 running a 2.2.14 kernel.  I could be wrong but just to go out on a limb are you using a etherpro driver on an intel 10/100 ethernet card?  If so there maybe a problem reading the mac adress from the card with the driver that came with that kernel.  This causes multiple machines with this card to get the same Hardware ethernet address.  On DHCP this can create some interesting lease problems where multiple machines on the network are sharing the same ip.  Which goes back to the suggestion by Jared.  There is also the possibility that your being given a dhcp address that someone else has decided they want as their static ip or vice versa.  So I wouldn't discount Jareds suggestion based off the idea of your network being to simple.

my network topography is very simple and typical:

internet
  |
(eth0:public ip)
linux box
(eth1:private ip) -> other boxes(all internal ip)

There is only one public ip assigned on firewall box. the rest of them are 
use
non-routable ips.

again, All the boxes are APM disabled on BIOS (linux, windoz boxes), all 
liunx don't run ampd, the firewall box even don't have any APM related stuff 
in the kernel. and something interest is all the linux boxes will 'make' the 
monitor standby (power is on, but
screen is dark, nothing) after idle for a while, but the the windoz just 
stays on forever.

again, any other idea?
