With these hardware specs: Supermicro Superserver 5014CT P4 SATA 1x Intel Pentium 631 3.0Ghz SKT775 FSB800 2MB 2x Kingston 512MB DDR2 667 PC5300 2x Seagate 80GB SATA 1x 3ware 8006-2LP SATA RAID When I try to install some add-ons, like PostgresSQL, the NIC seems to be "bugging". I get complete time-outs or pings around 3000ms. The network connection is up and running as is should but the server won't reply. There is no logging of any errors or problems and after the compile (or eve= n a rm =96rf /usr/ports) is finished the server is available again. Is there anyone who has seen this kind of behavior before? Are there any tools, monitoring options, available so I can maybe get closer to the cause of this problem?
