I like the ifconfig idea better, as per the routing. I don't know but does netif also drop firewall state rules? This should work well 'just in case' while running in a screen. If you get no response after running it, it'll put it back the way it was before. If you do get a response, you can send the process a ^C during sleep(): #!/bin/sh ifconfig bge0 mtu 1472 sleep 5 ifconfig bge0 mtu 1500 Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
