What `ident /boot/kernel/if_re.ko` shows? $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c,v 1.46.2.19 2006/08/07 02:38:07 yongari Exp $ and the latest if_rlreg.c which i pulled down shows, $FreeBSD: src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h,v 1.51.2.7 2006/08/01 17:36:50 wpaul Exp $ i'm not using the loadable modules though, and am building the re(4) device into the kernel directly. the symptoms remain the same, i.e. IP traffic doesn't flow at all, though 'arp -an' does show the ethernet address of the other box attempting to ping this. the OP at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2006-August/027356.html mentioned that it was working fine before breakage was introduced relatively recently (~ 2 weeks ago), and thus something's changed in the interim which is causing this to happen. -- Regards, /\_/\ "All dogs go to heaven." dinesh@alphaque.com (0 0) http://www.openmalaysiablog.com/ +==========================----oOO--(_)--OOo----==========================+ | for a in past present future; do | | for b in clients employers associates relatives neighbours pets; do | | echo "The opinions here in no way reflect the opinions of my $a $b." | | done; done | +=========================================================================+
