Hi Danial,

Any ideas as to how I would be able to find out more if it was an arp
problem. I don't see how it could be because I have only 3 machines on the
network at the time that it died. The three where the router, the freebsd
gateway, and my notebook. Is there something I could enable on the sysctl
side of things? Or syslogd side of things to try and see if it is an arp
problem, and if it is, how can I rectify it ?

Cheers
Ian

Things that stop after 5-10 minutes are usually
ARP related, but I can't be certain.
