Oh yeah, forgot to mention.

The windows machine locked up after play Diablo II for a while, once I had exited the game that is, but the gateway was still working.

So it could be a couple of things happening here. One bad RAM slot and the loop back while playing games.
Only thing left to do is watch and wait I guess.

yeah bad memory can be the cause of ALOT of hard to pinpoint problems. for me if im having a problem, once ive gone through all the possible software problems, hardware then memory is usually the cause.

Well so far things are working. I've replaced the old Real Tek NIC with a 3Com Fast Ethernet XL and, well, things seem to be ok.

I'm going to "stress" the machine out a bit to make sure that there are no other issues.

After 3 days of uptime, surfing on the second machine and also playing games I'm convinced this has been sorted out.

I believe there were two issues involved.

1. The network card was not supported by FreeBSD. (It was so outdated it had a BNC connector on it.)

2. (I'm not sure this was affecting the network) I had a bad RAM slot on the motherboard.


Thanks for your help guys.

I love it when a plan comes together! Smilie
