I seem to be having errors with FBSD and internet resources.  I can access so many internet applications at a time and then it will just start dropping them off with "no buffer space available errors"  I have this occurring on two boxes at the current moment.  One is a dialup and the other is connected to a T1.

I will refer to the home box in this article.  It is a p200 with 64 meg of ram and an 800 meg hdd.  It is running FBSD 3.4 - RELEASE

root@cookies:/usr/home/trey# netstat -m 
150/288 mbufs in use:
        135 mbufs allocated to data
        15 mbufs allocated to packet headers
32/46/8192 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
128 Kbytes allocated to network (64% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
root@cookies:/usr/home/trey#

I increased the mbufclusters in the kernel
options         NMBCLUSTERS=8192

I also increased the maxusers to 128

one computer runs DLINK nic and the other has an SMC nic


Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated.
