I don't know what he did, but I have had cases where I _have_ to do an 
outward ping before eepro100 starts doing anything. 
Pinging it from outside does not wake it up.

I've had similar behaviour on at least two different computers with
eepro

And yes, I'v had it falling asleep. Currently I have a cronjob to keep
it 
alive by making an outward ping every few minutes.
