Im currently using FreeBSD 5.3, using the fxp driver for my network card. $ dmesg | grep fxp0 fxp0: <Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xec1f mem 0xdff00000-0xdfffffff,0xdd9ff000-0xdd9fffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0 This box currently uses DHCP to get its IP address. When it boots up, and I log in, and immediately try to initiate any network activity from this box, it takes about 2-3 seconds for said network activity to start. For example, if I were to ping, or startx, it takes about 2-3 seconds for either ping or startx to actually start. During the boot sequence I notice this -> fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.0.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:80:29:65:e2:96 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier After the 2-3 seconds after the OS has booted up, it changes to -> fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.0.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:80:29:65:e2:96 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active Is this normal? If you need any other information, please, feel free to ask. Thanks for any information that you can provide...
