I am using FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE-p4 I'm not sure if this is a problem with my setup or Verizon's end, but thought I would ask here first since I'll get quicker responses then from Verizon customer support. Every once in awhile there will be a connection drop. Everything works fine then all of the sudden everything stops. I use NATD for my LAN and I start getting failed to write packet back errors. I do a traceroute to any site and the 1st hop on is nothing but *'s. I have sat and waited up to 5 minutes during these burps and nothing ever seem to come back on its own. I kill -9 dhclient and start it again and I'm back on the net. The last 2 times it burped on me tonight, I didn't wait a second..as soon as it dropped I killed dhclient and restarted and was immediately back on the net. This is why I am maybe wondering if its something with my DHCP setup. I am using all the defaults..just a blank dhclient.conf file. Anyone have any suggestions or comment on this. It will be appreciated. Thanks. Sam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
