Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Just w anted to know if anyone has seen this before. I'm running a 2.1 system (486/33, 1 gig IDE) and have the following problem. When the machine boots no machine on the segment can contact it but as soon as I ping anything on the segment it seems to come alive and begins behaving normally. It would seem that this is a routing problem but the routing tables look the same before the ping as after. I know I've seen this problem on a SUN (Solaris 2.4) once before but I can't remember what was done to fix it. Any help is always welcome. Thanks, Geoff.
