g'day ... I've recently started having an issue on my desktop that I've been kinda hounding the cable provider about, but, from their end, they see absolutely no issues ... so I figured I'd see if there was maybe something happening within the OS itself ... Here is the issue ... periodically, for 60-120 secs, my SSH connections to servers in both Panama, Central America and Toronto, Canada, will hang ... seems to be totally random ... Web *appears* to work during that time, and I have Azureas running and *it* appears to keep running during that time ... I suspect that my IMAP connections (fetchmail) are also being affected, since I get the original "timeout" emails from fetchmail ... I am running: FreeBSD 6.1-RC #21: Sun Apr 30 20:56:36 ADT 2006 On: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2394.01-MHz 686-class CPU) And my Internet connection is running on: fxp0: <Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet> As I've mentioned above, I have been bugging my cable company about this, but they can find no reasons on their ends to account for this ... I have a business account, so I'm not dealing with "Residential QoS" issues on this one ... Is there *anything* on the OS side of things that I should be looking at that I may be overlooking? Any known issues with the fxp driver that might be causing this? I've always found it to be a more then stable driver, but things can happen ... Also, please note that I don't have a router between the 'Net and I ... my desktop is our network router, so the fxp device is directly connected ... Thoughts? Thanks ... ---- Marc G.
