I've had to stop there for now for other duties. In the meantime, back to normal work using a Win2K DSL gateway setup for the LAN which includes Win2K and FreeBSD stations. It's a dynamic IP ISP connection. The gateway Win2K machine with the DSL has NO problems with any applications. BUT, with the other machines on the LAN, there are a couple of problems... only with email replies and FTP UPloading. While I don't have any problems whith downloading using the BSDs (or the Win2Ks either), I can't upload... it starts, then locks up & has to be rebooted to break the connections. I suspect MTU size packets may be the culprit. It should be set to 1492, but the ifconfig -a shows the BSD interface set at 1500. Has anyone else had this same problem on FTP UPloads on the LAN...??? ...again no problem DOWNloading... If it is the 1500 mtu, what would the ifconfig (-mtu) line command be to change the 1500 to 1492..? BTW, when I switch to an ISDN connection and sharing with the LAN, no problems like with the DSL above. FTP, emails and everything else works just fine for all machines. This is again why I suspect the packet size handing problem. Best regards, Jack L.
