Hello, I've been struggling with a problem for quite some time now. =
I'm running FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, and the system is normal except that it =
will sporadically become unresponsive to the network. The system will =
drop all connections to it and not return any pings. I've beening =
running the -STABLE branch on the system for quite some time now and =
haven't experienced any problems until this one, and since then I've =
tried network cable changes, network card changes, processor changes, =
motherboard changes, and I've even tried using the system with OpenBSD =
instead, but the same problem persists.
Recently I was hanging out in the #FreeBSDhelp channel on EFnet and =
ran into someone experience the same problem (s_79@yahoo.com). The only =
similarites I can see between our configurations is that we're both =
running 4.3-STABLE on i586 systems. Here are the full specs on the two =
systems with the problem:
Pentium 100 (i586), 32MB RAM, 1.7GB HDD
Ethernet card: SOHO NDC 10/100 (dc)
OS: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
Pentium 120 (i586), 48MB RAM, 4.2GB HDD
Ethernet card: Magitronix NE2000 Compatible (ed)
OS: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE
Hopefully someone out there has an idea of whats going wrong. Thanks =
in advance for any suggestions that could be made.
