Hello (first post) I have searched through the archives, and I know this has been covored. I understand what is going on, but am not sure how to stop it from happening. I have a FreeBSD(4.3) machine that runs the Apache web server (1.3.20). I am connected via a cable modem. It works great until my ISP's gateway switches the MAC address associated with the IP address. It switches between 2 MACs on a regular basis, and when it does so, makes my web server basically unoperable. I can still ping it with great times, but it is very slow to load web pages, and sometimes won't load images at all. I ran down the IP address, but don't know how to pinpoint what machine is associated with each MAC address, however, neither MAC is any card on my network. If anyone has a solution, or some hints, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
