That is rather odd. Ping localhost times here: [implode:dg] ping localhost PING localhost.root.com (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.158 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.163 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.162 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.161 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.171 ms ^C --- localhost.root.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.158/0.163/0.171 ms Which version of FreeBSD is this? The only thing that comes to mind is that there is a routing/configuration problem that is causing the packets to go out your ethernet interface. Could it be that "localhost" is not defined as 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts? -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
