Yeah...that can always be a possible issue. Have you tried placing the card in a different slot? One thing I would have checked long ago is if the card is negotiating properly with the hub/switched hub. Is it half or full duplex? Is it 10 or 100 mbit? One thing I recommend is to set it to 10 half and see if that solves the problem. This issue could be the port that its plugged into on the hub. Have you checked that yet? Have you tried swapping the connections on the hub so that the machine that is acting up is on a port that isn't and vice versa? I bet once you do these things you have found your problem. - Jim >Thanks > >Steven > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message - Jim -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=67861&lastnode_id=67861 -----BEGIN PERL GEEK CODE BLOCK----- ------BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK------ Version: 0.01 Version: 3.12 P++>*@$c?P6?R+++>++++@$M GIT/CM/J d++(--) s++:++ a- >++++$O!MA->++++E!> PU-->+++BD C++++(+) UB++++$L++++$S++++$ $C-@D!>++++(-)$S++++@$X?WP+>++++MO!>+++ P++(+)>+++++ L+++(++++)>+++++$ !E* +PP+++>++++n-CO?PO!o >++++G W++(+++) N+ o !K w--- PS---(-)@ PE >*(!)$A-->++++@$Ee---(-)Ev++uL++>*@$uB+ Y+>+++ PGP t+(+++)>+++@ 5- X++ R@ >*@$uS+>*@$uH+uo+w-@$m! tv+ b?
