first place I looked.

it's a damned mystery. to the machine itself, nothing at all out of the 
ordinary appears to be happening. External machines simply stop 
connecting to various alias IPs after a while.
   I would suspect the router connected to the machine, except that that 
wouldn't explain why resetting the IP settings brings it back up.
