I have a FreeBSD box configured as an open firewall. It has two network interfaces: 1. ISA NE2K for an outside connection (cable modem, dhcp). 2. PCI Realtek8139 for the inside (local LAN), fixed IP. Once in a while the outside interface "hangs". "netstat -i" halts indefinitely trying to display information for ed1. Rebooting cures the problem. I don't see any weird messages in /var/log/ at all. My /etc/rc.conf.local looks like this: ,----- | network_interfaces="ed1 rl0 lo0" | ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" | ifconfig_ed1="DHCP" | | inetd_flags="-lwW" | log_in_vain="YES" | | firewall_enable="YES" | firewall_type="OPEN" | natd_enable="YES" | natd_interface="ed1" | gateway_enable="YES" | router_enable="YES" `----- Other than that, networking works fine, and there is no collisions or any other errors. ,----- | door:/var/log$ netstat -i | Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll | rl0 1500 <Link> 00.a0.4b.04.af.40 422 0 329 0 0 | rl0 1500 192.168.1 door 422 0 329 0 0 | ed1 1500 <Link> 52.54.4c.17.c9.5c 122 0 131 0 0 | ed1 1500 24.114.152.64 cr103675-a.bloo 122 0 131 0 0 | lo0 16384 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 | lo0 16384 127 localhost 0 0 0 0 0 `----- How could I debug it?
