First, which release are you using?

Then, can you provide us with output of:

1) The output of ifconfig rl0 and ifconfig de0

2) netstat -i

3) netstat -m

4) netstat -r

That would be a good start so people could get a better picture of the
state of the machine when its having problems.

Also, what is de0 actually hooked up to?  A hub?  A DSL router?

Thanks,
George
