I don't know exactly when that happened, though. : I don't think it is harmful. Something has failed (look into if_ep.c) but I : don't know what :-) You'd better ask the FreeBSD lists if you're worried : though. : : > After that "root" was not allowed to use telnet nor ftp from remote to this : > FBSD system. : > 1.

I don't know about the other problems, but ep status 2002 is buffer overrun I believe. I get those quite frequently here too, but there of no real concern. 3com puts too small of a buffer in their cards, I get these messages on NT too. I'm going to upgrade to SMC Etherpower people say these are faster and better designed cards. I get a lot of buffer overruns on my news server with a full feed ;-).
