I've recently started having an issue on my desktop that I've been kinda hounding the cable provider about, but, from their end, they see absolutely no issues ... so I figured I'd see if there was maybe something happening within the OS itself ... Here is the issue ... periodically, for 60-120 secs, my SSH connections to servers in both Panama, Central America and Toronto, Canada, will hang ... seems to be totally random ... Web *appears* to work during that time, and I have Azureas running and *it* appears to keep running during that time ... I suspect that my IMAP connections (fetchmail) are also being affected, since I get the original "timeout" emails from fetchmail ... I am running: FreeBSD 6.1-RC #21: Sun Apr 30 20:56:36 ADT 2006 On: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2394.01-MHz 686-class CPU) And my Internet connection is running on: fxp0: As I've mentioned above, I have been bugging my cable company about this, but they can find no reasons on their ends to account for this ... I have a business account, so I'm not dealing with "Residential QoS" issues on this one ... Is there *anything* on the OS side of things that I should be looking at that I may be overlooking? Any known issues with the fxp driver that might be causing this? I've always found it to be a more then stable driver, but things can happen ... Also, please note that I don't have a router between the 'Net and I ... my desktop is our network router, so the fxp device is directly connected ... Thoughts? Thanks ... ---- Marc G.
