It is a Fore Systems ES-2810. However, this behaviour occurs no matter what kind of port I plug the CAT5 cable into. The Switch doesn't hinder troubleshooting (not sure why you said that?) > But, first I'd try using ifconfig to lock both > interfaces into 10BaseT half-duplex and see if the problem goes > away or not. I tried this, using the media options in ifconfig...timeout still occurs when ports are both "active" and "10-base T UTP." I am still looking for help on this; Ted, thanks for your reply. Again, I really appreciate any help anyone can render with this problem. The motherboard has the standard SiS 9000 ethernet chip on it, that is the LAN controller for this on-board LAN port, so it makes sense that it uses the 'sis' driver. When I look online for clues as to how to troubleshoot and fix "watchdog timeout" errors on *BSDs and Linux, it looks like several things can be the cause. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem with FreeBSD, if someone could help me track it down I would be most grateful...
