host disappearing in windows

I figured it out ! i cant believe it. so remember one of my hosts keep 
dropping from network neighborhood? well

i went and made sure all of the software was correct many times and one 
host keeps disappearing from network neighborhood.


it wasnt software at all!  i been beating my brain for a week....

whatever you do dont use those cheap single port 10GB network cards with 
the "experimental" driver called realtek-rge0-kmod package.


i dont know if its the driver or hardware but I installed it to save on 
wattage, its a NAS and the dual intel card pulls over 10 watts compared 
to 2 for the rge card.


swapped card edited rc.conf to reflect and voila no more disappearing acts.


may send something to the rge driver dude, maybe he can fix it.
