Re: PF and stalled connections

It's not the OS change that would cause the negotiation of speed/duplex,
it's simply the rebooting.

Changed to fixed (100baseTX, full-duplex) at the server end, but no
change. No 
did I expect it as this identical setup did work with 2.9 (I even
transferred 
the hostname.fxp? files unchanged from the old server)

I do not see any mbuf related error messages - do you think that
increasing 
NMBCLUSTERS to 8192 (as indicated in the FAQ) would help?

Thanks,
