Have you tried verifying the speed and duplex on both ends of the fiber connection? A dump of "ifconfig em0" and information on where the device the circuit is connected to would be helpful. Is the circuit known to be working on other machines? Does the problem exist when you disable pf/ altq? Cheers, Andrew
