I've done some searching in the archive and been unable to find something that exactly applies to my problem, so I am appealing to this group for some help. I have a Gateway 2000 (sympathy accepted) P5-90 that I'm trying to turn into a FreeBSD-based gateway. Installation of the system (2.1.5) went uneventfully, and everything seems to work just fine -- except the network interface. The card is a 3Com Etherlink III and I am using the ep0 interface. When the system comes up, the network interface works [i.e., I can ping things, get DNS queries resolved, etc.] but as soon as anyone tries to do anything "real", such as telnet into the machine, the network interface locks up and NOTHING goes through. We've seen a running ping just stop receiving packets when someone else tries to log in via telnet. Varying the interface with ifconfig brings it back. Is there a way around this short of replacing the card? Any help is much appreciated. Robert Brazile Momentum Inc.
