The box is running only 3 services: httpd, sshd, and postfix/smtp. The problem is, after idle a while - 15 to 30 minutes, the box will be unreachable from the net. I had tried to ping, or ssh login from home without any success. But the box is ACTIVE.... What I have to do in order to login to the FreeBSD box is to login to another box (OpenBSD), then ping the freebsd box, and voila, it's working again (I can reach it from home). But if I don't ping it from the OpenBSD box first, I couldn't reach it at all. The OpenBSD and FreeBSD box are located in the same building, connected to the same switch (Netgear FX-108???) no firewall has been set up. Any help would be appreciate. Thank you PS: FreeBSD version is 3.4STABLE. /var/log/messages doesn't show any errors.
