It was practically no load, and on the wire there was no duplicates but = ping got duplicates anyway. - It only happens sporadically and it = happens to about 10 boxes with the same FreeBSD version (exact same). Havent had the chance to dig into it though....

I traced this out with ethereal a while ago and then just = stopped using that card when I figured out it was some sort of circular = buffer issue.. I did not dig in and find out if it was the card or = driver... I rather suspect it is the card (since it is a low end one).. = but one never knows... R --=20 Randall R.
