I have FreeBSD 4.4 on pent 3 500 with 384 meg. The BSD box is on my LAN at home with a small web server (apache), proftp, and qmail. This has been the set up since last summer. I have a cable modem with a Linksys router that has the latest firmware. Some of the symptoms are this: Within the LAN, Samba can't re-establish connect when I boot up my win2k workstation; I have to click 'cancel'. When I try to FTP to the BSD box on the LAN; I get "connecting to ozric..." and then "Connected to 192.168.1.110" and it just stays there forever and finally times out. When I try to telnet I get: "Connecting to ozric..." then "Resolving ozric..." then "Connected to 192.168.1.110" but it stays there forever and eventually, after a min or so, connects. I can check for email no problem. But when I try to SMTP send mail, it hangs and times out. Anyone trying to relay email from outside the LAN also gets a timeout. I can ping the BSD box (192.168.1.110) with no percentage lost. And "netstat -an" shows no one is connected by myself. This first happened one time in fall last year, but cleared up after 2 days. It next happened last week and the duration was again about 2 days. Now it doing it again and I can't nail it down. I have not done any config changes to the FreeBSD box in months. I tried using ethereal but I'm not sure what to look for. Anyone got any ideas where I might be able to solving this? Thanks! Jim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
