>Description:
When my Windows XP Pro based DHCP client browse with IE6.0 through gateway of FreeBSD gateway (DHCP server + IPF + IPNAT). It hangs seldomly. If I check the server, it has message like following
rl1: discard oversize frame (ether type 61a6 flags 3 len 22786 > max 1514)
I guess it's the problem from rl adapter's code of FreeBSD. Because, I didn't have any problem when I use the server hardware on other OS. And, beside, I might be wrong, I don't think there is ether type of 61a6. It seems that the code got the packet wrong in the middle of some other packet. I searched through Google and many other forums, but couldn't find the answer.
>How-To-Repeat:
Maybe you can repeat this problem by dhclient-ing from above client's network configuration to the FreeBSD DHCP server from above. And use Internet Explorer from the client for a while. Many times it works fine, but seldomly the problem occurs.
