I've also seen this before - very recently. After a day and a half searching it turned out to be a bad port on the ether switch (and not the port I was connected too, one of the other ports affected the traffic). The switches themselves were suffering from someone in the buoilding getting a NIMDA virus which affected theswitches. Whether the two effects are related I dont know, but they happened in the order virus->switches start failing->broken port. Nimda can affect switches which have an IP address and a HTTP management interface as it sends overly long requests,. some buffer overflows and things start going pear shaped. Id check your ether connecctivity very carefully. -pcf. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
