I am very new to the BSD/unix OSes, and am trying to get a web server working to program and test page serves on. I had Apache 2.2 and PHP 5 working briefly, but then saw some problems during the boot process after sometimes booting with my broadband router turned off, and haven't been able to get a page since.
I have FreeBSD i386 7.2, and the network card is recognized as sis0 (another one, 'fxp0' worked very poorly just after I installed FBSD, so I use the sis0 card).
Currently the computer boots and appears to get a DHCP address assignment correctly, but loses all ping packets to any addresses except the assigned address. Sometimes the boot process will hang after the DHCP says it acquires a lease, usually with a "sis0: watchdog timeout" message.
Has anyone an idea of what might be causing the problem?
What configuration settings might be relevant?
How can I run more tests to see what the problem might be?
