I can >give more details if necessary.. Sorry i don't know the official definition for "unknown socket", but here's some stuff you want to check first: 1. Your vx0 interface is brought "up" properly and has the correct IP assigned to it (in rc.conf). If your ISP uses DHCP, you'll need to get the WIDE-DHCP or ISC DHCP clients. 2. You have a default route set (in rc.conf). 3. Your DNS servers are set properly (in resolv.conf). >Also, is ther a reason why the vx0 driver for the 3com card is not >specified in the kernel install section.
