Oops.. Forgot to reply back to the whole list. This issue went away after disabling dhclient on the vr0 interface. With the machine fixed IP, it's running an absolute dream - glad to see that FreeBSD wasn't fussy at all with using cheap hardware and changing hardware after an installation! Glad this machine wasn't using Windows! Thanks for replying though ML :) Regards, Graham Lilley Hardware / Network Engineer -----Original Message----- From: Miroslav Lachman [mailto:000.fbsd@quip.cz]=20 Sent: 01 June 2006 11:43 To: Gray Lilley Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org; Graham Lilley Subject: Re: vr card issues on 6.1-STABLE Gray Lilley wrote: > After a motherboard failure in a machine, I purchased a cheap AXPER > motherboard to replace it.

I have 2 machines with motherboard EPOX 8kra2+ with VIA Rhine vr0 NIC.=20 One as desktop and the second as testing machine. Both with AMD Barton 2500+ On desktop machine I can run w2k, FreeBSD 5.4 and FreeBSD 6.1 (6.0=20 earlier), on testing machine is FreeBSD 6.0. On desktop I mainly work=20 under w2k, connecting by Putty SSH to testing machine and others.=20 Sometimes I am working under FreeBSD 5.4 or 6.1, conecting to other=20 machines on the internet (outgoing ftp/ssh/http) without any problems=20 for about one year. Maybe I have luck, but I can't say anything bad=20 about vr0. > Kernel is GENERIC with the majority of SCSI/RAID removed. I have GENERIC on testing machine and own kernel (GENERIC without=20 SCSI/RAID) on desktop. Miroslav Lachman
