I built a FreeBSD box using a 4.7-release mini cd distro from freebsd.org. I then updated to stable via cvsup and did a buildworld/kernel.
The machine needed linux support, so I installed linux-base (6?) from the ports. Things were going fine until I started stressing the box. Frequently, when using edit to edit config files, the remote session would lock and connection would get lost. The edit session would show up in a 'ps -aux' but I could not kill it via kill or killall. Now the box is fairly unresponsive to pings. I swapped a known good patch cable but it didn't help. Also, when trying to scp, more often than not, once I click on copy (using winscp), the session would lock up and connection drop on the client side. I don't seem to have any editing issues if I am sitting at the terminal, and pinging local ip doesn't drop a packet. When I ping any other ip, I get dropped packets... Any ideas?
