The connection is negotiated by a FreeBSD machine with dual NICs. One NIC connected to the internet and the other to my hub. I also have a mail server connected to the hub and a workstation and a laptop. DSL | 192.168.0.2 | 192.168.0.5 - Hub - 192.168.0.4 | 192.168.0.1 well this picture will certainly not come out right, but the idea is that all machines except .0.2 have one NIC connected to the hub. 0.2 has two NICs and is gateway/firewall. This machine also does all the necessary port forwarding and such. Actually, I have had this setup successfully for a little over two years, and I recently bought a new computer and I gave it the same physical location as the old desktop. (i.e. same TP-cable and the same place on hub). I can't quite see the physical setup of the network as cause of the current problems. Thank you for all your help so far, I have to leave for a few hours, but am still thankful for all your efforts regards /Nikolaj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
