I have installed FreeBSD 4.6.2 on a system with a Realtek RTL8139 network card and I see a strange behaviour: I connect to the network, and get my IP with DHCP, but when I start a connection, e.g. I open lynx or a X browser, I download a few chilobytes and then the network stalls. I have tried 4.5 on the same machine and I did not experience this problem, I also use Windows every day on the same hardware and it works fine, so I am pretty sure that it is some comfiguration error I made. Oddly, I have less problems with www.freebsd.org than with java.sun.com or other sites. I installed Debian Linux 3.3r0 and I found the same problem. I am not sure if I enabled IPv6 (how can i tell?). Where could I start from for troubleshooting the problem? I would like to be able to reconfigure rl0 in different ways, but I do not know how (reinstalling everything is too stupid). I had experience with 4.3BSD on Sun, VAX and SVR4 from 1985 to 1992, so I think I can catch up easily once I have some pointers in hand. Thank you very much!
