Hi Rudy,

may I ask which clients have access to your FreeBSD 7.2 server?

I had similar problems a few days ago; I have no idea what exactly
happend, but Ubuntu Linux (NIS and NFS client) made my em0
timeout after a while, too, (and even crashed my FreeBSD 7.2 box
a few times!)

This box was rock solid before, I even thought my Intel NIC was
broken...

Anyway, since I had no time (and clue) to analyze this further, I took
the risk and upgraded to 8.0-RC1 and, well, everything is working fine
now :-)

HTH
