I'm using them on several clients, wiht squid/samba/ipfilter/sendmail/apache and never had a problem. The networks are mid-sized (300 to 1000 hosts). You can do some research to find the problem: 1. search the logs. 2. Run ps/vmstat/iostat/netstat to see what happens. 3. Take a look at the -i and -m flags to netstat 4. Read tuning(7). You may need to tweak some things. 5. try a 'make buildkernel'. If there are some hardware problems, it will fail. If that fails, just mail the list again :) > > That's why i ask this question... > > Thanks for replying do quick ! > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Search, le moteur de recherche qui pense comme vous ! > http://search.msn.fr/worldwide.asp > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
