Greetings all, I've just completed update from 4.9 to 5.3 and so far not much is working. I went the "format and install" route to minimize incompatibilities. After the install, the first thing I wanted to do was get my network up and running. I've got a pretty standard setup: LAN on one NIC, PPPoE Internet on the other NIC with NAT addressing. Ignore the PPPoE and gateway side of things for a bit, my problem is that after install, I can't see my LAN. From the FreeBSD box I try this: ping -S 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.254 but none of the pings are responded to. From 10.0.0.254, I try pinging 10.0.0.1, but the result is the same. Okay, here is the WEIRD part: When I run tcpdump to see what's going on, all of a sudden everything starts working! It's as if going into promiscuous mode shuts off some kind of block that I can't figure out. When I kill tcpdump, it goes back to not working again. Any ideas what is causing this or how to fix it? I strolled through the install notes, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. That makes searching the mailing list archives difficult also. Cheers, -Wes
