There are plenty of tools for networking analysis but I am not a networking adept. So I will carefully repeat the install. Thanks. -Bob- BTW, my other computer is a Biostar Ideq SFF with Via chipsets. FreeBSD reports a 6102 ethernet but cannot map the interrupt. Instead it wants to emulate ethernet on FireWire. But that is for another day. :-) Lowell Gilbert wrote: > Bob McIsaac writes: > FreeBSD using Konqueor or Lynx takes more than 10 seconds.
