Hi, This problem is still ongoing; unfortunately I haven't seen a reply about it from questions. Maybe someone here knows what's up? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 13:08:38 -0800 (PST) From: David Kirchner <davidk@accretivetg.com> To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD4.4, fxp, no net after ifconfig for ~50 seconds We've recently started using FreeBSD 4.4 for production servers, in an environment where servers between 3.2 and 4.3 have had no trouble. Starting with 4.4, the servers have been booting up without being able to see the network for around 50 seconds. tcpdump indicates that the gateway isn't responding to the ARP request for x.x.x.1 right away. However, the gateway responds immediately to ARP requests from 3.2 through 4.3 machines. All other ARP requests are responded to immediately (ie, other FreeBSD 3.2-4.4 servers, even before the gateway responds) I was wondering if a) anyone else has been experiencing similar trouble, and b) if anything non-obvious has changed in the way FreeBSD ARP request packets are sent that would cause this? Our network runs on primarily Cisco hardware, and the servers are connected to Catalyst (29xx I believe) switches. The gateway is a Cisco somethingorother router.
