Nathan, Let's see the output of ifconfig Also the output of ipfw -a list [or output from whatever packet filtering tool you are using] I've been using my laptop/FreeBSD combo as a gateway to DSL for almost a year now with no issues that the above output wouldn't resolve. Of course, others have pointed out that maybe you have an undetected hardware error as well, which dmesgs might point out.
