Our hubs reset themselves this morning with an interesting side effect. It takes about 90 seconds for the hubs to restart. During this time the the two machines we have with de based ethernet cards with both UTP and Co-ax connectors decided to switch to co-ax. Naturally when the hubs came back the cards didn't.... Using "ifconfig de0 media UTP" fixed the problem. At the moment I don't say what media type to use when initially ifconfig'ing the card. If I did would the card refuse to change media unless ifconfig'ed again? It would be nice to have some protection from this. David.
