It's not a memory problem and here's why: network <---> A <-----> B <-----> C I have a network, and machine A connected via ethernet to a network of sun. Manchine A is connected to machine B via a ppp link. Machine B is connected to machine C via ethernet. Machine A and B are FBSD 2.1, machine C is an IPX with solaris 2.5. Machine A uses proxyarp with machine B. Machine B and C has a different set of IP addresses. If I display an X application from the network to be displayed on machine B it works just fine. If I display the same X application on machine C it will work for a couple of minutes before A reboots. On Wed, 7 Aug 1996, Stephen Hovey wrote: > Do you get a panic? what panic number?
