I think I smell a common feature -- we're all using the fxp0 driver. This server never exhibited this before I dropped in the EtherExpress. Are there any known bugs in the driver? (I would assume not). The machine was pingable by itself (the network code was working) when this happened. -Dave Andersen -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
