From what you guys are saying, > it sounds like you just need more mbufs... Yes, it's very serious - netstat -m shows no overrun of any buffers, nor does it demonstrate the need for additional space - everything is under 10% capacity. As I mentioned, I have already maximized my buffer settings to a point where this server would be able to handle a midsized network, rather than a mere DSL modem. MAXUSERS= 256 options NMBCLUSTERS="16384" Further, this problem didn't occur before the last two cvsups. Any further input is welcome.
