Hello,
I am trying to resolve a connection timed out problem.  The problem 
occurs when I attempt to ssh, or http to my freebsd host from my windows 
(2K) box.  About 3/4 of the time I get a "Connection timed out" when I 
attempt to ssh into the freebsd host.
Coincident with this behaviour, I can not ping my windows box from the 
freebsd host, and when I try I get no packets returned.

Meanwhile, the freebsd box at no time has any problems pinging google, 
only the local network. I recall having a sockets timeout variable or 
something that needed tuning when I ran freebsd as a http / ssh server 
before .  Can someone provide a hint as to how I can resolve this?
Thanks,
Matthew
