If I could indulge your generosity and knowledge, one thing is puzzling me, why do I not have this problem when I am running Win XP on the same machine (dual boot with FreeBSD) using all the same hardware. Or when running NetBSD on my desktop machine but with the same network. Seems strange that FreeBSD, which generally works really well out of the box, cannot 'just deal' with this problem. I realise that it is not FreeBSD's problem per se, but a badly configured router somewhere 'out there', just seems that it must be common enough for some part of the OS to handle it without needing any tweaking. FreeBSD seems great, I am in the process of migrating from NetBSD so am quite used to configuring as necessary, does FreeBSD 7 encounter this situation?
