Sorry, I ment to include more but got cut off in the middle (lost my train of thought ;). In any case, I'm not going through a hub. My setup is a thin net on one side of the FreeBSD box and a 28.8 link to the Internet on the other side. I also have two dial-up modems for ppp. Everything comes up fine on a re-boot except nothing on the thin net can see the FreeBSD box. As soon as I do anything that uses the interface on the FreeBSD box, everything comes alive. To be honest, I don't really know where to take it from there. It sounds like a routing issue, but why does the interface perform fine after a ping (insert network operation of choice). A netstat -r doesn't show any changes before or after either. I'm stumped. Thanks, Geoff.
