I am running nfs mounts from a Sun Ultra Sparc 2 (running solaris 2.5.1) When i have the freebsd machine conencted to a 10/100bt switch (bay networks 350t) the freebsd machine will hang (only ctrl+alt+del or a hard boot will reset the box) when i try to do an ls on my home directory which has +100 indavidual listings. When the freebsd machine is plugged into a regular 10bt hub, i have no problems with any of the nfs mounts, and doing a ls on my home directory works fine. The device Freebsd is using for the nic card is vx0. I was wondering if there was either an updated driver for that nic card, or if there was a way to increase buffering with NFs so that the machine will not hang when i use the 100bt connection. -- Thanks Sean Shilton
