(connection refused). a few times tho, it works fine, but after a short while, it will kick me back off. system is based on nvidia chipsets, with the nve0 nic driver. we switched in a re0 to see if that helped, but its getting the same behavior. server is connected to a small linksys 8 port switch that is fairly new. i would uname, but at this moment im unable to get into it, it keeps refusing me. other things seem to work fine, but smtp seems to be affected by this same problem as well. hmm, dns is on an active directory DNS server, could this be the crappy version of the AAA records? im pretty much otherwise at a loss why this system isnt behaving nicely. thanks, jonathan horne
