It doesn't work over ftp (to a local server or *.freebsd.org). It will login, read a couple of hunks & hang. My local net is simple -- everything is 10baseT or 10base2 & a single 10 port hub (circa 1991). Nothing to misconfigure. I seem to remember problems with the zp0 driver in FreeBSD 2.1 or so. I seem to remember that I had to run: % while (1) > ifconfig zp0 <local ip address> > sleep 30 > end on one of the vty shells to keep the zp0 interface from hanging. I have always upgraded using the pccard driver (ed0?) since -- until my disk crashed. Now I'm stuck. Any other suggestions? (Maybe option flags on the network config page?). Thanks.
