The box is connected via a switch, on the same switch a win2k box runs without this problem (on another ip, but the same isp). both boxes get their ips thru DHCP. The connection didnt come back until reboot. I have searched the web for answers, but the only thing i came up with is that it might be a hardware error somewhere, someone have other ideas about this? sorry for my crappy english /TUBBS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
