This sounds similar to the problem that I've been having with a MS-PPTP VPN link from my cable-connected FreeBSD box to the office Win2000 servr (also connected by cable). I posted to freebsd-questions a couple of days ago. [I wasn't doing nfs, but outgoing smtp and cvs messages would sometimes just hang.] I ran a script using jot to send ping packets across the link, with sizes varying from 1300 to 2300 bytes, while also watching the link with tcpdump. Only one ping failed (it didn't even get out), with the following error message: ping: sendto: Message too long I also saw a few "ip reassembly time exceeded" messages in tcpdump, but I'm not sure whether they were correlated. Most of my problems seem to have gone away when I added "add allow all from any to any frag" to my firewall script. Not sure how it ever worked at all without that, though. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
