No problem with the english, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have known. I can ping FBSD from M$, can't ping anything from FBSD. M$ box works when plugged into hub and directly into radio. All systems are on same subnet. FBSD box worked when plugged into a 100mb hub, but doesn't work when plugged into 10mb hub or directly into radio. Both hubs are 3Com and are working with other systems plugged into them. FBSD has no firwall configured. All I did was perform a standard installation loading all binaries and sources from ftp. I just tested another FBSD 5.3 box that I have and it does the same thing, works fine at 100mb, but appears to get lost at 10mb. Hope this answers some of your questions. John A.
