Hmm, man fxp works for me. Do you perhaps have MANSEC set to limit your man searches? >I have been getting many (more than .1%) input errors and about .01% >output errors on a 100Mbit switch port; the Pro100B reports it as >full duplex. I have had similar problems with a 3C905A on an NT >server where it chose full and the link was half duplex. Can you tell what types of errors they are? Or is this all you can get?

I am now going to replace the card and drop cable. I recommend only replacing one item at a time. Then when the problem goes away you know which part was at fault. >The major problem is that when I try to use samba (but not NFS or mars_nwe) >the connection crashes; the smb.log file reports an unimplemented samba >call, and the error rate (netstat -i) goes up, once to about 10%.

This is the symptom, not the problem. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
