By stuttering i mean network connectivity goes away but comes back.. It simply drops packets on both inside and outside interfaces, the interfaces as far as the switch is concerned stay up and running (i.e. they dont bounce) there are no errors (rx or tx) on the switch ports that these connect to. Running OpenBSD 3.3 w/PF. If i Disable pf while this happens i get same result (i.e. it doesn't matter if pf is enabled or disabled). I noticed that my clock is off, and it could be that the system is freezing, but i have yet to be able to verify that. Its running on a P4 1.8Ghz, Tyan MB, 256m ram, two fxp's and it ran fine for 8 months, it was rebooted (hard reboot, via remote power strip) last week and since then has done this twice when traffic gets "high" and high for this box is 3 to 4 mbps, it averages ~ 0.7mbps Nothing in the logs. What would you check next? -Scotty
