PING: transmit failed, error code 1450.

Dell PowerEdge 2850
Dual P4 3GHz w/4GB DDR
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition w/SP1

Anyone have any ideas on what this means?

As of last night, at approximately 2030PST, we lost all of our networking on
one of our servers. As far as I can see, nothing IP-related is working.

I found the problem by attempting to ping from that server, which resulted
in the error.

I've attempted to uninstall and reinstall the IP stack, restarted the
server, etc., but to no avail.

Any ideas out there in cyberspace?

Thanx.

Ping is ICMP rather than IP, and therefore, I'd suggest the fault lies
somewhere on layers 1-3 - I'd suggest popping in an additional network card
into the server, and seeing if that interface can be used. You could also try
booting from a linux live CD and testing the hardware that way. If either of
those methods work, it should show you whats at fault.
