I reboot it, hasn't crashed yet :) ), I get this message: hd[257]: error: bind to port 22 on :: failed :: address already in use Jul 2 23:27:25 gordon sshd[257]:error: bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed access already in use. cannot bind to address. ------- Specifics: I have my FBSD 4.0 box networked to my Win98SE box. The win98SE dials up/has IC on. I am telneting/ssh'ing to my BSD box until such time as I can get the USB card to work :) (added it into the kernel, trying to get it to work now :) ) What I am wondering is: What does the above message mean exactly? And why does telnet/ssh only sometimes not work. It seems that if I reboot the box a couple of times... it works.
