Hi Martin,

Actually both the machines are identical. I had connected both NIC cards 
back to back using a cat6 cross cable. One of the machines is then 
connected to a RAID Array.

If I force 1000baseTX on both NIC cards, their connection status shows: 
no carrier.

However, if I force 100baseTX on both NIC cards, then their connection 
status shows: active

What could be the problem here? The bge0 NIC cards not supporting 
1000baseTX settings or am I missing something?

Both machines are running on FreeBSD-6.2.

Thanking you...
