Hello again my friends... I am back to you with difficulties with my machine.... I have built a fbsd 2.1.5 machine for hooking up to a lan with a gateway to the Inet. The machine is an AMD 133, with 20meg rem, a generic s3 video card, and an smc 8432bt pci ethernet card. I am connected to the lan on coax in to a tigerhub. The gate is a trailblazer backed by csu/dsu in to a t1. Enough of this... the problem is that I can not get a reliable ping to the gateway... I have everything setup fine with the kernel, best as I can tell, for the card. I am on the inet 204.186.107.0 I have the addresss .6, the gateway is .254 The arp information is all there, however when I ping to the gateway or any other machine on the network I get 90% loss on the ping... normally it takes 19 for the first response, then I don't see anything until I get to ping #39 or more... I don't think it is the cable, i have removed the segment of cable I am on, and went to a t tap that another machine... (running nt351) works from and has no trouble. I don't know what else to try at this point... I think it is either protocol troubles, cable troubles, or my card is in trouble. Any help will be greatly appreciated Guy Silliman
