(These machines are running >4.3-REL-p20) Not sure why. But, I have noticed that many of the realtek cards do not detect their speed / media type properly. On my DSL connection, I need to do ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP. Try in your /etc/rc.conf instead of just ifconfig_rl0='up' try ifconfig_rl0='media 10baseT/UTP up' Without doing this, ifconfig rl0 shows a media type of none and the connection does not function properly. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
