Hi folks, I have a Dual Xeon 2.8ghz w/ 4GB ram, 2x80GB hdd + 200GB hdd running FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9 on a em0 network card.Every once in awhile, em0 will simply die. These are the longs from the last time: Jul 22 18:15:15 rhea kernel: em0: Link is up 100 Mbps Full Duplex Jul 22 18:22:33 rhea kernel: em0: Link is Down I find it weird, 'link is up 100mbps full duplex' @ 18:15, because the system was up long ago before that message. As for the link is down message, that is self explanatory. It never came back again. I bet this is what happened this time too, will be sure when I get the datacenter to reboot the server. This always happens when I leave a ssh session idling for a long time. It would be normal for the ssh session to timeout because the dynamic rules on the firewall expire (assuming I didnt have keep alives), but the em0 interface goes down.. I am using the pf port instead of ipfw/ipfilter. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any ideas on what's causing this? Regards, Hugo
