Hi, I am using FreeBSD 10.2 amd64, with Win XP as a backup OS. Since=20 yesterday, I am experiencing a strange situation. Internet connectivity is= =20 lost every 10-15 minutes. 'ping www.freebsd.org' starts reporting 100%=20 packet loss. If I run 'service netif restart', ping reports "No route to=20 host". The only way to fix the problem is to reboot into XP where internet works=20 okay. Then I reboot into FreeBSD, where things are okay too - for 10 or=20 minutes, after which the story gets played again. Is it possible that somebody has hacked my system to place some malicious=20 code somewhere to make the system behave like this ? Or is somebody on the= =20 ISP's side doing funny things to bring my internet down ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Manish Jain
