I'm not a hardware expert so don't know if the card's bad or not, but why not swap it with one of the NIC's in your PCs? If the card is bad then presumabely your FreeBSD box will start to work fine and that one PC will start to flake out, but at least it's just the one PC and not the whole network. -philip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
