It would work ok then when I got a bit of traffic the connection would die until I rebooted my FreeBSD box. My network card is a DE205 and can be software configured to be in either 2k, 32k or 64k mode. It didn't matter what I configured the card to be, the probing always reported it to be in 2k mode so I eventually just set it to be in 2k mode and the problem went away. What sort of card are you using? Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au
