I built a FreeBSD box using a 4.7-release mini cd distro from
freebsd.org.  I then updated to stable via cvsup and did a
buildworld/kernel.

The machine needed linux support, so I installed linux-base (6?) from
the ports.  Things were going fine until I started stressing the box.

Frequently, when using edit to edit config files, the remote session
would lock and connection would get lost.  The edit session would show
up in a 'ps -aux' but I could not kill it via kill or killall.  Now the
box is fairly unresponsive to pings.  I swapped a known good patch cable
but it didn't help.  Also, when trying to scp, more often than not, once
I click on copy (using winscp), the session would lock up and connection
drop on the client side.

I don't seem to have any editing issues if I am sitting at the terminal,
and pinging local ip doesn't drop a packet.  When I ping any other ip, I
get dropped packets...

Any ideas?

Hardware:

XP1800+
ECS K7S5A mobo w/ onboard lan.
512M PC2100 crucial ram
