I don't know much about unix at all. I am having trouble configuring FreeBSD for networking. It recognizes my ethernet card, I can ping myself, but if I try to ping anyone else on the network, I get a "host down" message. My light on the hub does not blink like it should. I have redhat Linux on the same machine and can get on the network in Linux, so I think the card is A OK. Can any body help or suggest a place to look for help? Thank you very much.
