I often have the following network problem on our FreeBSD (Release 2.1.6): suddenly the network stop working and when I try to ping another host on the local network, ping returns the following message: No buffers space available The freebsd machine is a Pentium with 64MB of physical memory. I tried to solve the problem increasing the value of MAXUSERS in the kernel configuration file. Now it is set to 128, but I still have the problem. This freebsd computer is configured as domain name server,pop server, proxy server and firewall. I tried also to set "options MNBCLUSTERS=4096" in the kernel configuration file, but at least once a day I have the network crash. Is there anybody who has good ideas for this problem?
