Have you tried any network diagnostics? I mean like `ping -c 20 "somehost"' to see if any packets are being lost? Or `netstat -i' and check the number of errors. Your description sounds to me like it might be hardware rather than software since it worked well and degraded over time. Check your cables. Are they in good shape? Try swapping patch cords, sometimes damage isn't obvious. People say 10BaseT can run on baling wire -- but only on _very_ short runs ;) Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
