I have replaced the ethernet cable as well as the device on the other end (a cable internet box), but the problem intermittently persists. It appears not to be a mechanical issue insofar as I can wiggle the cable at each end and not introduce this problem. fxp0 in this case is the on-board NIC of an Intel mobo. Ideas anyone? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
