Hi, I just install FreeBSD version 2.1.6 and ran into a really wierd network problem: I can access other machines on the network (ping, telnet) from the FreeBSD machine, but I can only intermittantly access the FreeBSD machine from PCs and Sun machines. Sometimes ping works, sometimes it doesn't. Telnet sometimes gets through but then freezes after logging in; sometimes it does not get in. NFS sometimes mounts stuff, sometimes freezes. The FreeBSD machine is an Intel Pentium 166, 3Com 3C509 NIC, Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, ATI Mach64 PCI video card, Seagate hard drive and SCSI CD-ROM, 32 MB RAM. The network is a mixed PC, Sun and NFS server network. There are multiple subnets; the project PCs, one Sun and the FreeBSD machine are all on the same subnet. We are really stumped. Any suggestions? /Steve Goldstone (408) 369-4667
