ah, this sounds suspiciously like it might be the solution to my problem. especially, since the server works for a few minutes after a reboot, and then stops. as soon as i return to that site, ill check that out. btw, is there a way i can try to send my tcp packets to a specific mac address? i know the mac of my target server, if i could get it to talk back to me, i could cheers, jonathan _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
