Good Day All

Ive recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on a 486DX2/66 with 12Mb Ram.
This machine has two SMC Utra 16 ethernet cards and is intended 
for use as a router.

The machine boots and runs OK; but when it gets to the 
'ifconfig lo0 inet localhost' line, it sits there for five full 
minutes before continuing.  In a similar way; when adding the
default, and static routes, each route add command takes 2 minutes
to return.

As I said, the machine runs OK, but the long delay in executing
network config commands seems wrong.

Please reply by email

Thanks
