Yes, I have had this too.  I have found that running Autonegotiate on
3584 with switch set to autonegotiate also (I know this is not usual best
practice, but I have found "SAN" devices work better this way!) works.

Another tip I head from my CE early on was that 100MB didn't work
if cable from 3584 to switch was over 50 ft or similar.  My Cisco
3550 is now in next rack, so I have about a 20ft run.

As to some comments about reboot, early on before I got this
working consistently, I would make a change on  3584 or switch.  
There would be no com, BUT I would then disconnect the Ethernet
cable for a couple of seconds and then reconnect and bingo, it
would then work for a while.

Hi All

I just wondered if anyone else has had problems with their 3584's and there
network connectivity.

The two 3584s that I run have both recently gone off the air,i.e I can't
ping them.  They both have green link lights on the NIC. They are set to
100/Full  although I have tried Auto and 100/half.
The network switch port is set to 100/Full and sees a device connected at
the other end, its sending packets out to the library but not getting any
back.  I've tried disabling and reenabling ethernet on the libraries.
Do I need to reboot the libaries?  Has anyone else had problems like this?

TIA
Chris
