This is not a FreeBSD specific. I'm having strange problems in my Intel EtherExpress 100 network card. FOr some reason, it only work when i use a direct conection using a cross cable to another computer. If i try to use a switch or hub. This card is unable to receive any packets ( but is capable of send ). So. i can send a arp request, but unable to receive the answer. The remote computers ( 3com/sis/realtek ), the cable( cat5 cross and single ), and the switch( and hub ) are ok. I'm really confused. i can imagine why it works on direct cross connection, but when i try to use a hub using cross and normal cat5 cable, i can't receive any packets. ( ifconfig/sniffers show 0 packets RX ). Can someone help me? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
