Hello, I've been struggling with a problem for quite some time now. I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, and the system is normal except that it will sporadically become unresponsive to the network. The system will drop all connections to it and not return any pings. I've beening running the -STABLE branch on the system for quite some time now and haven't experienced any problems until this one, and since then I've tried network cable changes, network card changes, processor changes, motherboard changes, and I've even tried using the system with OpenBSD instead, but the same problem persists.
Recently I was hanging out in the #FreeBSDhelp channel on EFnet and ran into someone experience the same problem (s_79@yahoo.com). The only similarites I can see between our configurations is that we're both running 4.3-STABLE on i586 systems. Here are the full specs on the two systems with the problem:
Pentium 100 (i586), 32MB RAM, 1.7GB HDD
Ethernet card: SOHO NDC 10/100 (dc)
OS: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
Pentium 120 (i586), 48MB RAM, 4.2GB HDD
Ethernet card: Magitronix NE2000 Compatible (ed)
OS: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE
Hopefully someone out there has an idea of whats going wrong. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that could be made.
