When the 3.3 box has problems, the 2.2.6 box can still telnet into it? If not, what is the exact message that telnetting to the 3.3 box from the 2.2.6 box returns? > You could ping and telnet into the FreeBSD box running 2.2.6 So the 2.2.6 box never looses its abilities. Right? > Fixed IPs, not DHCP on these boxes. Also have Mac connected to the Lan, it > is connected via dhcp and working fine. Why is the Mac using DHCP while the FreeBSD boxes have static IPs? Did your internet provider explicity and intenionally give you two static IPs? If not, they might be assigning those IPs to other customers via DHCP, which would cause a configuration conflict. > Just the new box, with 3.3 is a problem. Is this new hardware? Does your ISP know that its there?

I don't understand this. Please explain in more detail so that I know which machine your talking about for each act. Thanks. > Appreciate any ideas or advice. I'm working on it. :) So far it sounds like a config problem or your ISP, though its more likely a problem with using what your ISP wants you to use.
