Hi,
I have this weird problem with FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE and I'm using it
has a router between my cable modem and my LAN. I use the ipf
firewall technology and have forwarded ports so I can use TightVNC to
connect to my Windows XP machine from another location. However,
after a few minutes or so of use, the BSD machine completely freezes
(the keyboard freezes, the display freezes [no text updates when I
was running a traffic analyzer], and all my network interfaces go
dead). I have to physically turn off the machine and turn it back
on. This only happens when I use TightVNC.
It's either a hardware problem, or some serious issue with ipf. As a
side note, i would highly recommend you ditch ipf and switch to pf
instead, its a much better firewall.
Yeah, I fixed it. I switched network cards and the BSD box works fine
now. It was either the network driver or the network card itself.
Thanks for the help.
