As you may remember, I was having problems with 2 3C509's in an HP Vectra 486 (ISA) machine locking up in the OACTIVE state under 3.4 I have upgraded to 4.0 with it's much improved ep driver (thanks for all the good work), and I thought the problem was gone. Before the upgrade I could reliably cuase a lcokpu by running amandausing the FreeBSD machine as the gateway between 2 networks. Amanda has been runing nicely every night since I did the upgrade. However yesterdau, I tried runing it during the day with normal network traffic, and was able to reproduce the locckup. Any sugestiosn as to how to work around this? Doing an ifconfig down/up on the affected card will restore operation if O cathc it in time, but I usually don't, and I need this to work reliably unatended. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
