Strange problem creeped up over the weekend. I can not do anything on the web from my FreeBSD machine (486/75 w/2.2.1). I have iijppp to do an -auto dial. This has worked for several months now. I made no changes to the ppp.conf file nor any other that I am aware of. Starting at about 2 PM on Saturday, I could not ping or do anything on the web. PPP dials out (when it sees a TCP packet) and links and I get assigned an IP address. And then exactly one minute later, I get the follow error: (Iglou.com) HDLC errors -> FCS: 1 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0 If I dial in using my other ISP, I get: (Concentric.net) HDLC errors -> FCS: 0 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 1 As I said, both worked before 2PM on Saturday. To be specific, if I ping anything (including my hisaddr), almost none of the packets come back. I do get an occasional one return (96% packet loss on average) with a time of about 900ms which is about 3.5 times as long as it usually takes! Using lynx, I get "looking for host..." and then nothing. Ditto with XFMail "Resolving name..." I can dial out and use the net when I boot with Win 95 with no problem. So I don't think the hardware is the problem. Any hints or helps? It's difficult to work like this! (I hate aol). Thanks again, Patrick
