This is a serious problem that I encountered once with a 3C509 NIC (ep0) on 3.3-RELEASE. The network would just stop working after 3-4hours. I solved the problem only after installing 3.2-Stable and making world. I don't know if the make world was necessary but I did it for good measure. Since, the system is rock solid and is being used for internal DNS, Sendmail and the NIS Master. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of James D.
