Well - yes - it is connected to a network. It's an internal network with a separate gateway to the outside world. The connection is via an NE2000 PCMCIA card. The hangs I see are that the machine is totally dead. (I'm also doing this under X) - I can't ping it, I can't do anything on the keyboard (to kill X) and there's no mouse movement... the machine is just dead. - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
