Hello All,
I just installed FreeBSD 7.2 on an older system with a Linksys WUSB54GV4 adapter. This is my first shot at FreeBSD and I have to say, it's been working fine. I've been switching around on Linux distros but i wanted to try something a bit different. Well, I got the usb adapter to connect wirelessly using WPA. I have a simple home network, one machine (XP) is wired into my Belkin router and my FreeBSD runs wireless of course. I am able to ping the bsd machine from my XP machine (and vice versa), but after awhile I start losing packets, but the strange thing is if I ssh to the wan ip, i am able to login to my bsd machine, but if I try to use Putty with the LAN ip, it fails. I checked the xp machine during my packet loss and the xp machines connection is fine, still browsing and what not, so i know my dsl isnt dropping out. Furthermore, Even when I am in the ssh session, there are times I cannot ping by name or IP, but it will be able to take commands so I know the ssh sessions isn't closed. I am not sure if something is not configured properly or if it's just a hardware issue. The adapter has been working fine on other OS's any ideas??? My belkin router shows my BSD in the arp table and that it's associated. Even when i run ifconfig ural0 it shows an IP and that I am associated.
Ping stats
then..
I ran dmesg...(if that helps)
