I'm a FreeBSD "newbie" (you would call it so, wouldn't you?), and I have installed a machine with FreeBSD 3.4 (distribution from Walnut Creek CDROM). The system works fine, except that the system doesn't answer for any ip-requests (ECHO REQ., FTP-Connect, NFS-Connect) before I didn't ping a machine. which machine that is makes no different. When I've pinged a machine, the system will answer incoming packets for half an hour (or so), and the theater begins again... outgoing connection I can start from this machine without any problems. What may the reason for such an incredible behavior?
