Date: 24 Jan 1996 22:03:15 GMT Organization: Infocom, Inc. Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4e6ab3$ceo@mips.infocom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: tye.infocom.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] This may not be a FreeBSD problem just from the mere fact that I lack details. I have twice experienced this. My pentium running FreeBSD 2.1 seems to stop being interactive. I can ping it and get a response (it has a direct net connect as you so guessed), but anything that requires a shell on it in some form or another is a no go. Even the console does not respond. I can see what I type on my screen, but freeBSD seems to be unaware of my input, not responding to any of it. I have found no emergency or panic messages in my logs. If you can think of things that I might look at or may actually have an idea of what is wrong both are appreciated. Thanks much, -Josh josh@infocom.com ps It is also running INN1.4
