My system seems to be incredibly unstable. I am usinging it as a gateway/router (running natd and ipfw). However; I get these messages telling me that the internal network nic times out. at which point i appear to be powerless to do anything other than resetting the machine. a lot of the times, i am in the middle of an ftp or receiving info via httpd. the only other network traffic that i can think is going on is dhcpd. i've tried switching network cards incase it was a hardware problem, but to no avail. i'm at a loss of what to do at this point. 101 8:30 blackbox ~ >uname -a FreeBSD blackbox.yayproductions.com 4.5-RC FreeBSD 4.5-RC #1: Sat Jan 12 20:06:19 PST 2002 root@blackbox.yayproductions.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/STABLE i386 106 8:33 blackbox /var/log >grep xl0 messages.0 Jan 30 20:42:10 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 3 14:39:21 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 3 14:40:32 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 3 23:17:31 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 3 23:18:44 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 4 14:05:06 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 4 14:10:43 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 4 23:59:31 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 5 00:00:44 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 5 03:40:37 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 5 03:42:02 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 6 15:18:19 blackbox /kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem 0xfa103800-0xfa10387f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 Feb 6 15:18:19 blackbox /kernel: xl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:da:d5:a8:ea Feb 6 15:18:19 blackbox /kernel: miibus0: on xl0 Feb 8 19:39:18 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 8 19:48:02 blackbox /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout Feb 11 12:08:49 blackbox /kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem 0xfa103800-0xfa10387f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 Feb 11 12:08:49 blackbox /kernel: xl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:da:d5:a8:ea Feb 11 12:08:49 blackbox /kernel: miibus0: on xl0 Feb 16 13:30:07 blackbox /kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem 0xfa103800-0xfa10387f irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 Feb 16 13:30:07 blackbox /kernel: xl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:da:d5:a8:ea Feb 16 13:30:07 blackbox /kernel: miibus0: on xl0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
