Boris, This sounds normal - your vlan probably has a max MTU of 1464 bytes (one of the ethernet standards uses this instead of 1500 I think). If you want to transmit larger frames, you have to up the MTU on your adapter and on the switch somehow. I think this is referred to as 'jumbo frames.' If you set the adapter MTU to 1464 you should not have problems sending and receiving, your packets will just get fragmented. -Will _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
