If you mean something like "broken" with the term "dodgy", I cannot understand why my NIC works with others OS. But I'm not sure that is the right meaning for this word! ..I've got some english troubles too! ^_^ > Yes but do you have the firewall turned on on the bsd machine? > A bad config can block all traffic I think it's turned off on my bsd machine. I've looked on my rc.conf file, and I've found out: firewall_enable="NO" I've tried to boot my system using FreeSBIE 1.1 (dvd bootable). Perhaps cause a bad system installation, my network interface didn't work (..no harm in trying). But I've still found out the same network problem. I can't ping any machines connected to my LAN. > Do not allow the card to autonegotiate. > > Lock the speed and duplex to 100 Full.
