New PIII box, running 3.3 Release on cable modem with fixed IP. Intel Card, fxp0 128MB of Ram. Single user machine, for now. Runs wonderfully for awhile, 10 hours or so, sometimes longer. Then all of a sudden I lose connection to the net. cannot ping out. can ping localhost, can ping othermachines on the same network hub. The outside world can ping my IP [tried it from an unrelated connection]. telnetting to my fixed IP, from the outside, leads to a connection refused message. As far as I can tell when I lose connectivity nothing else is affected. kde running fine as are all aps. No error message in dmesg or /var/log/messages. Nothing unusual. netstat shows I am not connected sockstat shows httpd, sendmail, telnet running ps, of course, confirms it. If I reboot then connection come back. Hardy what I wish to do :-) Tried killing inetd and restarting the daemon. Tried kill -HUP 1 Neither gets connectivity back. Two questions. 1. How can I get connectivity back without rebooting? 2. Likly cause of this problems? Thanks jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
