Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I got a problem that give me a lots of headaches. I tried to ask in: quetions, here and net but no one seems to be able to help me. So, anybody know a good way to trace the error? The symptoms are this: -I connect to my ISP with a dial-up connection (external modem Trust Communicator 56k ESP-2) -I got a lot of time-out errors when I try to connect to some sites (and traceroute tell me that they are up and running) -I got a lot of UDP errors (DNS timeout, etcetc) -The errors are a bit random: some sites seems to be unreachable, but if I redial sometimes they are ok. A typical site that give me trouble is x.mame.net but I'm able to reach it by traceroute Ok, that's all. =) If anybody can help me, I would be very happy =) Paolo p.s. the same connection works well under Linux, Windows, BeOS , QNX, etcetc p.p.s.
