I've recently set up a small intranet server using FreeBSD 3.3 stable and the Netgear FA310TX NIC. I'm having problems with data packets transferred from my server to my clients on the network. It seems that the transfer freezes after 1048 bytes are transmitted. This problem is ONLY affecting my server. Data transfers between my network clients are unaffected. Data transfers coming from my clients to my server is unaffected. If I ping one of my client machine's from my server, using a packet size of over 1048 bytes, I get 100% packet loss. Anything >1048 bytes and all of the packets make it through. If I ping one of the clients from a client (one of which is also using FreeBSD) all of the packets transfer properly. I get the same effect with telnet, ftp, smtp and http. I've tried swapping out the NIC & cable with another, & I've tried using a different port on my switch. I am also seeing a few strange messages when I tcpdump pn0. Here is an excerpt: (note: the domain's have been changed to protect the innocent.) 07:23:42.109049 smith.wildcard.com.domain >morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-info: 1 ServFail 0/0/0 (37) 07:23:42.110162 morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-inter >smith.wildcard.com.domain: 2+ (50) 07:23:42.111479 smith.wildcard.com.domain > morrissey.wildcard.com.ampr-inter: 2 NXDomain* 0/1/0 (113) Any ideas what ServFail & NXDomain* mean? I can't find anything in the man pages on tcpdump about it. If anyone has any ideas, or can point me to someone who can, please respond. This is the third time I've posted this question in this list, and I'm desperate for some sort of solution. Thanks, Robert M.
