        Hi,
        It's that what is saying. The system(kernel/driver) can't get enough memory space for the packets going out. I've seen this so many times when I was using fxp-based cards while back ago. It was mostly cleared by resetting the system, but nic had broken sometimes. If your have any spares that is different from current card, then try it to see if the messages won't observed again.

        cheers,

          looks like more bad news, my lan fails and is no longer accessible but after reboot everything is fine again. debugging through WAN, when LAN is inaccessible, doesn't show anything. Status:interfaces all up and no errors. System logs also just this annoying "no buffer space available" message.

              Hello,
              If your nic is anything relates to fxp I'd recommend one of vge/em/bge instead.

              yes - you may want to tell first what your nic/build is.

              cheers,
