The original problem was an still is > ping: sendto: no buffer space
avaialble.

I was able to reproduce the error today while telneting in to the box.  I
was ftping through telnet and i did an "ls" and it got halfway through a
directory listing and crapped out on my.  the box was no where to be found
on the network/internet.

OK i did the netstat -m and got he following output

298/352/4096 mbufs in use (current/peak/max)
170 mbufs allocated to data
128 mbufs allocated to packets headers
41/160/1024 mbuf clusters in use  (current/peak/max)
408 kbytes allocated to network (13% of mb-map in use)
0 requests for mem denied
0 requests for mem delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines


what next?

Jason


Does this happen regularly? Check `netstat -m' on the machine (you'll
probably have to do it from the console) when this is happening.
If it happens regularly, does anything specific happen that "helps
reproduce it?"
What version of FreeBSD are you running?
