I have an older PPro system with: Diamnd Viper 550 pci Diamond Monster Sound MX300 3950b U2 Scsi card 4 hard disks of varying manufacturers SMC EtherPower II 256M edo ram All hard disks/cdrom are scsi. I also have a DSL to Verio. I experience no problems such as these. I am using FreeBSD 5.0-Current. I am also using Xfree86 4.0, with it's root compromise(s). *Wonmder*... But anyway, I am not saying to go with Current but I do think that you may have a hardware problem in your system. Just because it works in Windoze is not an diagnsis. > Scott Myron wrote: > > Hello.
