For the rest, if i try and send a file via ftp to the machine, it locks up after sending 130KB. No matter what ifconfig i do after that, un/replugging cables, using different ports (it's on a 5 port D-Link DES-1005D switch), turning the switch on and off - nothing brings the connection back until i reboot FreeBSD. All telnets/ftp etc freeze, then they get a "connection reset by peer", and further attempts of anything get a time out. BTW, "autoselect" gets me 100baseTX FD on both the NIC and the switch in 3.x and 4.x, and it's what i've always used as 3.x had no problems with 100Mbps FD - got 11.5MB/s all the time no problems. None of this has ever happened on 3.x - as i mentioned before, 3 times. This is my third attempt at FreeBSD 4.x (each attempt a few months apart in hope that somebody has fixed the problem), and this time i'm just going to replace the NIC. I've a Netgear FA310TX, and an AOpen cheapo realtek 8139C card arriving soon.. One of them must work. :) The other can be a spare in case somebody decides to kill another driver that i use in the next FreeBSD release. *sigh* Thanks for the help.
