You didn't try rebooting it? If the network cable has been out for
a length of time, a whole bunch of things on the machine are going
to have noticed (among them, AFS, zhm, syslogd, aptitude, etc.), and while
they may recover given time, assuming that the machine will immediately
be fine upon reinserting the cable is generally not accurate.
