Hello, I have posted to the email list a couple of times so far about my problems with FreeBSD 3.4 (and now 4.1) concerning intermittent loss of connectivity to the network through a Cisco Catalyst 1900. The cat is set to 10Mb half duplex and so is my NIC (3Com and also a netgear) This connection cannot stay live for any given length of time. If I start a ping from the console to a box on the network or off the network, the connection stays up for hours but as soon as I kill the ping out, the intermittent loss starts again. I built a quick 4.1 kernel (GENERIC) and tried it but had the same results. Has anyone experienced this type of problem as I am sure it has to do with the Cat vs FreeBsd because if I set the machine up an a peer to peer network only going through a hub, NO problems. Dropping the Catalyst for another brand is not an option.
