The FreeBSD machine has two NICs, one on the LAN and one on cable modem on the internet. Whenever I first boot the FreeBSD machine the TCP/IP is working fine. But after several miniutes the TCP/IP drops. If I reboot FreeBSD, everthing work again for five minutes. The FreeBSD is not set as a gateway or a router. There is no micrsoft neworking setup on the Win98/WindowsNT machine. This problem occurs with both NT and 98. My ethernet cards are Dec Etherworks3 (le0). I have check routing with netstat -r almost imediately after the network goes down. But nothing is unusually, it show the default gateway to the Internet and two networks, the Internet and my LAN. Anybody encounter this problem before. Edward Ing To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
