The problem seems random, but I haven't been able to keep an uptime of more than 3 days. I have ipfw and natd as well as ppp running, and the internet link works MOST of the time. However, recently, FreeBSD has crashed during normal use of natd and ipfw. I can't be exactly sure as to where the problem is because there is no information on the console at the time of the freeze, and there is no indication in any logs. >How-To-Repeat: Connect via telnet or ftp from the windows machine. Various events have triggered a freeze including "more", transferring files to FreeBSD from windows, sending mail to sendmail which gets bounced back, accessing POP too many times, trying to use Apache as a proxy for more than 1 minute, accessing a web page. >Fix: Don't connect to freebsd with the windows machine. Everything works fine on the FreeBSD side when connected to the internet; it only crashes at certain times when connecting from windows (or any host? I might boot up with PicoBSD on the Windows machine and hammer it...) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
