I built a FreeBSD box using a 4.7-release mini cd distro from

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?

I have exactly that motherboard in one of my machines, and I must
say Im not impressed by its performance or stability.
I disabled the onboard nic and replaced it with a PCI Intel
10/100 card, and network performance sky-rocketed.
Just a tip
