The only config stuff I've set up is the address and host settings in /stand/sysinstall (network interfaces or something). After adding a default route to my providers host: add * * 203.10.110.52 Everything works fine...for a few minutes, then it abruptly hangs up. Is this a common problem, or is there some way to diagnose what the problem may be? I'm fairly new to FreeBSD, so I don't know too much about it yet. Thanks if anyone can help. Regards, Martin Gisch.
