Hello.

I recently installed FreeBSD 3.1, however I am having problems with the network configuration.  I am on a 
small TCP/IP network consisting of three computers.  One computer acts as a gateway for the other two ( 
uses dial on demand ).  Whenever I try to telnet to any of the other computers on the network I receive the 
message:    /kernal: ed0: device timeout

I checked the FAQ and made the changes listed in " 3.2.1 Configuring your Ethernet Interface ", but I am still 
having the same problem.

Here is my rc.conf:

network_interfaces="ed0 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 172.22.1.2  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_enable="YES"
defaultrouter="172.22.1.3"
hostname="Valhalla.home"

This what I see when I run " ifconfig -a ":

ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 172.22.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.22.1.255
	ether 00:00:c0:3e:ee:8d 
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

These are some of the entries in my /var/log/messages 
Jun  5 20:22:50 Valhalla /kernel: ed0: address 00:00:c0:3e:ee:8d, type SMC8216/SMC8216C (16 bit) 
Jun  5 20:22:51 Valhalla /kernel: ed0: device timeout


Thank you for your time,
   Joe
