I assume you have a DHCP server or = have manually typed in the IP address for your FreeBSD machine. Perhaps = it's a DNS issue. Ping www.yahoo.com from another machine (NOT all = "world" or Internet hosts allow ping or ICMP - yahoo does) Note the IP address that = your other machine resolves www.yahoo.com into. Take this IP number and = try pinging it? Try and ping your router or def gate from the BSD box. . . You state your router goes from green to orange, there may also be an = incorrect speed/duplex negotiation going on somewhere. I have always had good luck with 3com cards. HTH Eric
