Is the FreeBSD box no longer able to communicate with any system on the network? It's possible that you're being bitten by a Microsoft "feature": if it's serving DHCP, it won't tolerate any other DHCP servers on the net, and it will effectively perform a DoS by stealing all the IP addresses. If it's correct that you can't access any system on the network after rebooting the Microsoft box, you should take a look at the output of ifconfig before and after reboot. Also check if any messages appear in /var/log/messages. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
