Thanks Jlevie,<br />

It was the Plug and Play BIOS that caused the trouble. I disabled it and now everything is good again. Thanks again for your help.<br />

Hi experts,<br />
<br />
I have FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and after moving my computer on an airplane, I am no longer able to use the NIC. I keep getting complaints of vr0: watchdog timeout. I am wondering if the NIC (D-Link DFE-530Tx) is dead, but I suspect misconfiguration as I have changed from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.0.1/24 (provided by DLink DI-624) and I receive the same watchdog timeout with my other NIC (Etherlink xl pci 3c900b-TP0). <br />
<br />
I have used sysinstall to configure my /etc/rc.conf (and the network settings *are* correct*):<br />
ifconfig_vr0=&quot;inet 192.168.0.108 &nbsp; netmask 255.255.255.0&quot;<br />
defaultrouter=&quot;192.168.0.1<wbr />&quot;<br />
hostname=&quot;computer&quot;<br />
<br />
I have already disabled ACPI in the BIOS.<br />
<br />
Any ideas? Can I provide more info?<br />

watchdog timeout

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
