Date: 13 Dec 1995 02:02:37 GMT Organization: Family & Childrens Services Lines: 22 Message-ID: <4alc7t$mkv@karri.bs.wa.gov.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: 203.5.200.40 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.3 Good Day All Ive recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on a 486DX2/66 with 12Mb Ram. This machine has two SMC Utra 16 ethernet cards and is intended for use as a router. The machine boots and runs OK; but when it gets to the 'ifconfig lo0 inet localhost' line, it sits there for five full minutes before continuing. In a similar way; when adding the default, and static routes, each route add command takes 2 minutes to return. As I said, the machine runs OK, but the long delay in executing network config commands seems wrong. Please reply by email Thanks Jim jimm@fcs.wa.gov.au
