Hi,

I've tried everything for this machine ... from creating a local I.P. to
connect to to mediaopting the NIC to half-duplex, and I get 50% data loss
... for some reason, this only happens with my machine that has a NetGear
card in it... I have other FreeBSD machines that have other cards in them
that always run fine ... mind you, this 50% loss only occurs on the local
network ... If I connect from the outside back in, it works normally ...

I've found two things that fix it ... 1. was simply rebooting the machine
... but it happens again after about 2 hours. 2. re-ifconfiging the NIC
interface works the same as rebooting (obviously) ... so I've been doing
that lately ...

My question is ... is there any way to set a cron job that will re-ifconfig
the NIC? ... I tried it normally and it does not recognize the command, even
if the cron is run as root ...

Thanks,

Jordan
