I replaced a motherboard and for some reason couldn't get half of my network stuff working. I figured out that in my haste to get things back together I put the NIC card higher than the video card and the system was only partially seeing it. Moving the NIC card to the second PCI slot and putting the video card in the first slot corrected this problem.

I switched motherboards, from a board based on a VIA chipset to an ASUS board based on an ALi chipset. At first after booting up, everything was fine. Then, the next day, just all of a sudden, I couldn't telnet or ftp into the machine. I rebooted it, and sendmail wouldn't start, and I still couldn't ftp or telnet into it, or access anything by its DNS name, although I could still ping stuff by its IP, apache still started though. I figured maybe I needed a re-install what with changing the mobo and all, so I re-installed, re-formatting during the install. But, even after the fresh install, the same problem still existed. Any ideas what this could be? Its FreeBSD 4.0-release, a k-6 300MHz with 128 MB of RAM on an ASUS P5A-B motherboard now. > > Thanks > Generic Player > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
