Hi, After 1 full week with no problems, no hangs & no crashes, my FreeBSD 2.0R (snap950128) server has crashed a few times to-day. I have narrowed it down to a DOS/Windows client running a winsock telnet session (ewan ? ) When the user telnets into the server and then does an 'ls -las' of his home dir (which has lots of symbolic links in it) the server promptly crashes with the following error message on the console. de0: tulip_txsegment: extremely fragmented packet encountered (30 segments) Most of the DOS/Windoze users use ReflectionX with no problems, I have persuaded this user to do the same. Just wondering if anyone has seen similar problems. I intend updating to the latest snap-release asap, but I hear there may be another snapshot later on in the week. My server config is as follows Pentium P90 (Intel Premiere PCI II) BusLogic BT-946 PCI SCSI Seagate Barracuda 4GByte disk SMC EtherPower PCI network adaptor. 32MByte Memory. Could anyone tell me if the above error report is caused by a) The winsock telnet client b) FreeBSD PCI Network card Driver c) The SMC PCI network card I suspect the problem lies in the driver code (if_de.c) myself, but don't qoute me on that. Should freebsd handle this type of error more gracefully ?? Thanks as always for your help. Alan Byrne
