Okay you guys knew I would be back. My appologies to DutchDaemon for re-opening the thread. I swapped the network around so that it was using the motherboard NIC for my LAN and the Intel pro 1000 for internet connectivity.
It worked great for a couple of hours, then the LAN kept dropping out.
So I swapped them back and am at the same point I was when I started out.
Why if em4 is the correct driver for the intel pro 1000 does FreeBSD pick it up as em0? And as it has picked it up with the incorrect driver, how do I go about forcing it to use em4?
Thanking you in advance,
Jonathan.
