Try starting an ssh server on your machine, can you ssh into it when the lock up occurs? Can you attach any releated kernel / xorg logs for us to view. Reopen when you supply the above.
No ssh or ping reply when it happened. Kernel was 2.4.26. I upgraded to 2.6 kernel series and the problem went away, so works for me if you leave it closed.
ok thanks.
