***WARNING*** I am a newbie! I know a _tiny_ bit about UNIX. I am a Netware/DOS/Windows/OS/2 Guy. I am a Netware administrator who is playing with FreeBSD and Apache. ***END WARNING*** Now, if you still want to help me...Thanks! I have a new server running the current release of FBSD. Standard FTP pull. Running apache as a HTTPD. We have a general IP feed via T1. Hardware 486-66 w/ 16MB RAM 400MB HDD (IDE) Intel Ether express 16 - set as per FAQ. I also tried a 3C509 - (but didn't disable the PnP stuff <frown> ) It seems to serve pages great for the entire time I am here at work. Yet when I go home, it quits responding to any IP requests (Ping, WWW Telnet etc). This hangs on for several hours, and then the box will start responding again. I don't think that it has ever happened while I am here, but it doesn't crash the box. It just starts responding to IP again! Is chron or something taking up all the CPU resources. Is this network card screwing up. (Don't think it's network, as it is responding the same with either card) Am I just _stupid_? Please, help me before I switch to NT <SHUDDER> - No actually I wouldn't ever do that! Especially with this hardware <BG>! === I posted this, and didn't really get any great responses. Thanks for those that tried! Some additional information. The box seems to quit responding to any IP requests. I telnet to another Linux box that's on the local ether, and PING the (problem) BSD box. It responds, and then starts loading pages again. The problem just seems intermittent. I have switched back to a 3C509 with PnP disabled. The box is configured most as default install. I have granted ownership of the HTDOCS directory under apache to another user - non root. -Thanks gregs@wacom.com
