Ethernet Ports Stop Working
Early 2008 Mac Pro with 16G RAM. Ethernet Ports (both ports) stop occasionally. Reboot always brings them back to normal. OSX version irrelevant - has been ongoing over several major updates.
Ports when stopped appear normal and change of config or turning them off and back on does not help. Only a reboot will bring them back. I can not correlate any specific activity or software to the problem - appears random.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
