You could *try* disabling tcp extensions in /etc/rc.conf, but I suspect it won't help. Another possibility (but don't hold your breath) is if you tried disabling vj compression (``disable vj'' & ``deny vj''). This is even more of an outside chance than disabling tcp extensions. I suspect you'll have to hastle your ISP into enabling logging for your connections 'till it happens again - they may then be able to tell you why their side evaporated :-/ > Thanks a lot, > -Richard. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
