All, After some digging we found others that had a similar issue after they upgraded to FreeBSD 6.3. We are testing a solution from the following web site: " http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2008-02/msg00442.html ". Will let you know if this corrects our problem. Thanks to everyone for all the quick responses.
