hello all ok, first things first: I'm new, but not dumb :) Now that thats out of the way... I'm running 3.2-STABLE. I'm trying to configure my box to get on the net. I have a cable modem - not from "@home" - and a nic (xl0) which conects to it. I've been trying to do a few things at the same time, which has gotten me quite mixed up, since im learning from scratch each of the things im trying :) So, I'm gonna break my questions into the mailing list into VERY small pieces - the first of which is: What sort of things should i look for when trying to determine why I'm getting a 57% packet loss pinging hub.freebsd.org? I'm obviously getting online - so i guess my set-up isn't far off the mark - but i seem to drop/loose every other packet. for example, packets 0 and 1 get lost, but #2 malkes it. then #3 gets lost and 4 makes it. -R -------------------------------------------------------------- Do not believe in what you have heard; do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations; do not believe anything because it is rumored and spoken of by many; do not believe merely because the written statements of some old sage are produced; do not believe in conjectures; do not believe in that as a truth to which you have become attached by habit; do not believe merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
