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
