Hi all, thanks for the great job you doing with freenas!
I had a iscsi target with 2 device extents connected to a Win2k3 server (under virtualbox) with MS initiator and everything works fine.
I recently created a new device extent of 1TB, win2k3 recognized it and start the ntfs format (not fast mode). After some minutes all the iscsi drivers disappear and the initiator tells that is trying to reconnect the target.
After some "debug" i found that the iscsi service is no longer responding on the portal ip.
This is my network situation:
And this is the response by another machine running debian-linux (not a vm). Also here there is no response.
The interface is no longer responding also to ping and tcpdump does not detect any incoming packet to the interface.
The only way to get it working again is to change the ip-address (not in the same subnet) of the iface, delete and configure a new portal (binding on the new ip address).
Any help is appreciated
EDIT: I can upload the wireshark dump if useful.

This is my network situation:
