The machines will use ARP to discover each other and you will Before I added the 'route' command I got 'no route to host'. (they are _supposed_ to be on the same network.) They are as follows: Win98 machine 1 = 192.168.1.3 (Downstairs.conyers.net) Win98 machine 2 = 192.168.1.2 (Upstairs.conyers.net) FreeBSD machine = 192.168.1.4 (Nebula.conyers.net) Hub (assigned in FreeBSD) = 192.168.1.10 (Hub.conyers.net) netmask = 255.255.255.0 > then be able to ping them.

The trouble seems to be that Windows has no 'routing table' for the LAN. When I ping the FreeBSD machine from Windows it starts Dial-up, and when I ping the Windows machines from FreeBSD I get no response. p.s. On the Win98 machines TCP/IP is enabled as the default protocol, DNS is disabled. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
