Hmmm, well if they are all connected with the same NIC to the same HUB/Switch then you should look at cables and settings... If how ever you have different NICs or they are on a different HUB/Switch then you need to look at things like duplex settings, media and other things that *should* be auto sensing... Some NICs are not compatible with some HUBs, this is all because there is no real standard for how NICs should be programed... Of cause if everything is the same brand then unless this is some strange software problem its time to start switching cables around... Although it seems silly that its cabling to a lot of people, I have seen things like this caused by cable too close to high voltage and other magnetic interference, also badly made cables are out there... I am interested to see what this ends up being... Good luck! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
