Hey guys, I added a PCI NIC onto my FreeNAS8.2Beta3 (FreeBSD 8.2) box. I configured the onboard NIC to use DHCP, it (re0) has an ip of 192.168.1.4, and I also assosiate a second IP to the onboard NIC, 192.168.1.30 (jail IP). I configured the PCI NIC to use DHCP, it (em0) has an IP of 192.168.1.12. I have both NICs connected to an unmanaged switch. Everything seems to work perfectly and I can ping both NICs just fine.
The problems comes in when I use my PCI NIC for NFS or iscsi, I can usually connect to NFS or iscsi for a few seconds / minutes on the 192.168.1.12 address but it always stops responding. At which point I can't ping 192.168.1.12 from anywhere on my network (except from being ssh'ed into the box using the 192.168.1.4 IP). I don't see anything in syslog (using FreeNAS console). A local ifconfig makes it seem like the interface is still working perfectly fine. I can get the interface to work again using ifconfig em0 down and ifconfig em0 up but using iscsi or NFS makes the IP unreachable once again. iscsi and NFS work perfectly ok using my 192.168.1.4 IP.
Not sure if it's the card's fault (link below), the switch's fault, or if I configured something wrongly. Thanks for the help!
