Fro example it is known that NIC card like 3COM 50x series has a bug. I had this card on FreeBS and it worked slow and also it hanged very often and my system did not replyed to pings anymore. Ensure you have a very supported network device by FreeBSD. bye Rick On Fri, 4 Jun 1999, Site Palace wrote: > I believe I'm experiencing a problem with my ethernet card in my server... > But, since it is not located in a town near me I wondered if anyone has or > knows of a utility that may test it, or something that could transfer data > through it to see if it is actually acting up...
