However, when it boots, i get one of two contiually recurring comments-- ix.cx.excesscoll or ix.cx.heartbeatix.cx.excesscoll I would guess that this message means something about either the cable being bad, or the card not being set up right. I have replaced the cable, and still get the messages. I also checked the configuration, and reset it (using softset, booted from a dos floppy), and they appear to be correct. Am I missing something here? The sysconfig file lists the card under network devices with the correct IP (192.216.222.213), and when FreeBSD boots the card is recognized. I once saw a message that said "ixintr without init" or something along those lines... if you can provide any information, or tell me that i am missing something, I would appreciate it greatly. ** Ryan | E-mail: ramses@lithium.cdrom.com ** ** Snedegar | Home Page: http://ccnet.ccnet.com/~ares **
