ARP issuse in SUSE Linux

Question

I am dealing with a very strange problem. I have a VM running SLES 11 SP4 in VMware Environment. The machine has two NIC. All of a sudden the second NIC stopped working. It's not even pinging the gateway.

There does not seem to have changed in network configuration and it's exactly similar to another server in environment. So I am bit lost now and need help to fix this issue

The Second NIC is configured with 10.183.22.x series. It should ping the gateway 10.183.22.1

I tried removing second NIC from vmware and - re-attached it several times - reconfigured IP address - Used another IP address range - brought down/up second network NIC multiple times - Stopped SUSE firewall service - Restarted network service

But nothing seems to work. OS can detect link on network adapter. Ifconfig shows RX/TX packets as well. So i don't think it's a vmware issue. It's more of OS related issue.

Here is the output from ethtool

ethtool eth3
