I can access all other websites outside of the network. After I attempt to access a page on the FreeBSD box from the box or one of the other computers on the netowork, at timeout the router freezes and goes offline. A power reboot fixes till the next time I try to access via http or ftp. If I connect up my XP computer through my dial up account removing it from the router, then I am on different network and I have no problem accessing any of the sites or ftp'ing into the box. I have not done anything with sysctl or kernel settings FTP works from outside the box but not from within the network. I have 256 Megs opf RAM Disable Swap? Looking in the logs httpd-error.log , httpd-access.log, debug.log, ftpd, dmesg.today, security, and messages I find nothing about any errors relating to the problem. In fact I don't even get a log where it tried to access the box in httpd-access.log Is this what you mean by not putting the text ontop and far as I can tell the setting says the message is wrapped 72 characters. did it work this time?
