That's why = i=20 started testing by disabling the cheapysales one :) I do have two NICs in the freebsd machine, it's a gateway for my LAN to the= =20 Internet. The one on the LAN side is a Broadcom and uses the bfe driver, and the=20 external one i replaced was a realtek (rl) and is now a 3com (xl). I'm quie= t=20 happy with the way it's working now so i'm not going to put more wires in= =20 there then necessary ;P On 7/15/05, Gayn Winters wrote: >=20 >=20 >=20 > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Casey Scott > > Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 5:20 PM > > To: Bas Essers > > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > Subject: Re: 5.4-REL random reboots > > > > > > > Just a little follow-up to conclude my problem. > > > > > > I solved it by switching from a realtek NIC for my internet > > interface to a > > > 3COM NIC and i can run everything without these 'random' > > reboots now. > > > > > > It's still strange to me though because this problem came > > up out of the > > > blue. > > > > > > Well it's all good now :) > > > > > > -- > > > Met vriendelijke groet, > > > Bas Essers > > > > My rebooting issue has not occurred since I got rid of 3com > > NICs!
