The problem is the network interface will not "stay online" I can telnet into the machine on the network, and my connection will dissappear. I cannot even ping the machine when this happens. I go the the console and ping my workstation from the FreeBSD machine, everything is fine, and then I can telnet back in. Its like I need to jump start the interface from the console. Any ideas are appreciated. ---------- Patrick Burm Commercial Lithographers Mesa, AZ 602.844.2294 patb@commlitho.com
