(I always get the watchdog timeout message.) So the question is, where are things failing? What does "ifconfig xe0" show? Is there an IP address assigned? Are you using DHCP or assigning a fixed address with ifconfig (via rc.conf)? Does the link LED on the card light up? If you are using @Home and DHCP you need to pass them your system name to get an address. There used to be a good article on this at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd, but I don't find it there right now. Hopefully someone else can help out since I use a firewall to get the address from @Home and not a FreeBSD box. If you have your system name, you can look up the address on another system and hard-code the address until you get DHCP working. This should give you some ideas, at least. I suspect the card is fine. Good luck. If you need further help, please include the "ifconfig xe0". If you think it's a DHCP problem, include the contents of your dhclient.conf file. (Be sure to read the dhclient man page.) R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
