Sorry I didn't notice this earlier. There is an issue with some of the Intel chipset cards and crossover cables. The summary is you can't use a crossover cable. I'm not sure exactly which Intel NIC cards are affected. It might be only trying to connect two Intel cards together that is a problem. If you can try it with a hub, it might solve your problem. There was a discussion about this on -hackers not too long ago. Here's a link to the previous discussion. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=45338+47352+/usr/local/www/db/text/1998/freebsd-hackers/19981025.freebsd-hackers -- Alan Edmonds Director of International Technology Digital:Convergence aedmonds@digitalconvergence.com Phone: +1-214-292-6040 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
