Plus those guys aren't very helpful, so I'm hoping to fix it w/o them. It proved to be the fastest path in the past. Here is what happening with my FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE box, running Apache, sshd, and sendmail. It becomes inaccessible from outside world after less than an hour if I'm not doing something on it. As soon as I access something from it, whether via http or simple ping, it comes back online and you can see it from the outside. It looks like it forgets ISP's default router address. APM is not an issue simply because it's disabled. I tried everything, even replacing the NIC and the box itself. I'm on RadioDSL with BreezeAccess antenna, and like I said I don't have problems with the accessing Internet. The problem is that the outside world can't 'see' my server if I don't access the Internet from it for a while. Hope it makes sense. Any help is very appreciated, -Roman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
