My internet freezes about every 10 seconds. I use 1.2-RC3 atm but had the same problem with 1.2-FINAL.

Code:
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Not a valid interface action ""
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Processing -
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Not a valid interface action ""
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Processing start -
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Hotplug event detected for dc0 but ignoring since interface is not set for DHCP
Mar 15 15:54:23 php: : Processing dc0 - start
Mar 15 15:54:22 check_reload_status: rc.linkup starting
Mar 15 15:54:20 kernel: dc0: link state changed to UP
Mar 15 15:54:18 kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN

Mar 15 15:53:37 kernel: dc0: link state changed to UP
Mar 15 15:53:35 kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN

Any temp fix for this or something?

Your link on dc0 is going up and down all the time. Check cable, switchport and NIC.

How long is the cable between switch and nic? I have seen funy things happening when using too short cables on some equipement. Your logs clearly state that the link is coming up and down all the time.

Things always tend to run fine until they break  Wink
Still looks like a hardwareproblem to me. Maybe reset the switch.

This is a hardwarefailure. You have to start changing equipement to find out what's wrong I guess.

Seems like it only happends when there is trafic.

Code:
Mar 16 08:29:23 kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN
Mar 16 01:56:46 kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN

The time that i was sleeping it didnt fail.


Dunno if this helps.

Code:
LAN interface (dc0)
Status up
IP address 192.168.0.1 
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Media 10baseT/UTP
In/out packets 2258538/2942016 (633.59 MB/2.52 GB)
In/out errors 0/0
Collisions 319902

Do i get all those collisions because i use a hub, and not a switch?

I think you have some autonegotiation issues. You could try to hardcode the interface speed by using hidden config.xml magic. See http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook-single/#FAQ.hiddenopts for how to set mediaoptions. It's the same for pfSense.

You'll always get that with a hub, that's why it's been pretty much impossible to buy one for the last 5+ years Wink

If you've always had high collisions then you had a very badly broken switch.  Your other problems (as you've been told, repeatedly) strongly point to broken hardware.
