In xterm, I get beeping although I disabled beeping via the above mentioned xset command. Me too. I don't think it's FreeBSD specific though.

The NIC is more probable IMHO, but both should be suspect here. Now that I think about it... Do you do regular builds? Can you try to 'buildworld' (assuming you can get csup to pull the source tree? If CPU is the problem, you may experience random SIGSEGV errors when running the buildworld. If it fails in different areas of the build, this is most likely (from my experience) the problem. I've been doing buildworld -j4 for 8 hours without problems now. I'll see if I can get someone onsite to try another cable and switch port. -- Joel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Bad NIC 2.) Bad CPU 3. Bad cable from NIC to switch 4. Bad switch port These may not be all that likely, but they're easy to test if you have even a marginally-competent tech available at the site. I had similar behavior about a years ago. I also had a not very frequent( once a week) sporadic reboot issue during it. I replaced the RAM and it's not had the issue anymore. I may have rebuilt world too... The on-site techs ran the Dell diagnostics tests and the Broadcom test (for the NIC) but was unable to find any hw errors. So, they finally replaced the cable and connected it to another switch port. And now everything seems to be working. I've been doing some tests for a few hours, but I can't get the machine to crap out again.

Weird networking issue
Yesterday I noticed something weird with one of my mail servers (FreeBSD 7.2), which is located far away from me. At first I thought it was my mail client that was misbehaving since a couple of mails that I retrieved from the server looked...odd. Characters were missing, and the mail headers were sometimes (perhaps 1 out of 100 mails) sort of scrambled. This server isn't doing anything really useful, except handling a few mails every day. No load at all and it has been running for a few months without any problems. Anyway, after some time I realized that Thunderbird probably wasn't the problem. I discovered that ssh connections suddenly dropped (seems random) when I was connected to the server. Often with messages like: Received disconnect from x.x.x.x: 2: Bad packet length 3365265859. I tried to ping it and I constantly got 5-15% packet loss. The same symptoms are there if I connect to it from other places, so my home connection isn't the problem. I get 0 packet loss if I ping the gateway which the server is behind from my home connection. Anyway, while I was connected to the machine (and scratching my head) I did a csup from the server to fetch ports and other stuff, but that failed every time, with different messages: 1st try: Edit ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk Add delta 1.625 2009.08.03.15.36.58 miwi Edit ports/UPDATING Add delta 1.845 2009.08.03.19.08.48 dougb csup: inflate: invalid stored block lengths 2nd try: Edit ports/devel/libvc/Makefile Add delta 1.11 2009.08.02.19.33.28 mezz Edit ports/devel/libytnef/Makefile Add delta 1.6 2009.08.02.19.33.28 mezz Receiver: Protocol error 3rd try: Edit ports/devel/p5-threads-shared/distinfo Add delta 1.4 2009.07.22.17.25.14 pgollucci Edit ports/devel/p5-usb/pkg-plist Add delta 1.3 2009.07.30.23.04.41 pgollucci csup: inflate: invalid distance too far back Ok. So something is messed up. Checked my other server (located at the same place) to see if there were any problems (it is running VMware ESXI with 4 virtual machines, all running FreeBSD 7.2.), but all of the virtual hosts were fine. No packet loss, no ssh problems, no nothing. This server is connected to the same switch and behind the same gateway. So are also a bunch of Windows servers. None of them have any problems. Checked the logs on my mail server to see if there were anything weird...and the logs were filled with this: arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:c7:24:69:ae to 00:16:cf:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:cf:24:69:ae to 00:16:c7:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:c7:24:69:ae to 00:16:cf:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:cf:24:69:ae to 00:16:c7:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:c7:24:69:ae to 00:16:cf:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:cf:24:69:ae to 00:16:c7:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:c7:24:69:ae to 00:16:cf:24:69:ae on bge0 arp: x.x.x.x moved from 00:16:cf:24:69:ae to 00:16:c7:24:69:ae on bge0 x.x.x.x is my gateway which all my servers are behind. These messages started yesterday, about the same time that the problems appeared.

A Beta driver for the sound exists and it works well on my laptop, but it hasn't been committed to current yet. Dunno about the status of wireless support, but I heard rumors about a port of the wpi(4) driver from OpenBSD. -- Joel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Installing ports
Are your local ports-tree up-to-date? Hi! I'm using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm in trouble with installing software using the ports collection. After typing make install everything seems to be okay, but in most cases I get a message like this after a few minutes: fetch time out It seemed to me that the mirror servers are not uptodate or that some filenames have changed in the meantime, because fetching data from ftp-servers worked a few times. But in nearly all cases I had to copy the files manually in /usr/ports/distfiles as make install finally suggested. So I installed a new ports-collection with sysinstall over ftp but things haven't changed. I'm a little confused, because fetching data from FreeSD ftp-servers doesn't work too (remember that some fetches were successful!).
