I am using FBSD 3.4R and am setup with @home cable network. I have had this setup for about a week and things were mostly fine. But today, I started getting network hangs (netscape 4.72 was running in each case). The symptoms are that I can ping my local machine and localhost, but I cannot ping even my dns servers. I thought the problem might be with @home, but they were no help on the phone - once they found out I was not on a windows box their brain froze up. I think that it 'might' be netscape and freebsd related. I can solve the problem by rebooting fbsd. One time it only worked for about 1 minute after rebooting. One time it worked for about 1 hour after rebooting. One thing I don't like is that I have to reboot. I shouldn't have to reboot - is that right? I tried 'kill -1' the following: inetd syslogd dhcclient sendmail apache sshd but no luck. I even killed netscape (-9) and it's dhc buddy. Is there some test that I can perform to monitor the health of my network? Would kill -9 inetd and then restarting it be the same as rebooting?
