  Hi,

 I am working to use a FORE PCA-200E atm adapter 
 with my FreeBSD4.3; I have recompiled the kernel
 with the options for ATM and make all the 
 suggested settings for the configuration, but 
 not seems work; 

 I have two PCs with two Fore PCA-200E with
 a Fore Switch; IS A STRANGE PROBLEM...!!!!! 

 the same machines in the same hardware 
 configuration but with Linux Redhat operating sistem
 work with no problems; when I try the two FreeBSD  
 I can't see connectivity between the two machines;
 looking the output of the "atm show stats interface" 
 command I see that the Atm adapter Send Data with no 
 problem but not receive nothing;

 I try to use one PC with FreeBSD and one PC with 
 Linux RedHAT; 
 making a Ping from the FreeBSD to Linux  
 (Freebsd\>ping  10.255.18.2)
 and using on LINUX the TCPDUMP utility I can see the 
 packet ICMP that coming from the BSD and the ICMP-
 Reply that are sending from Linux to the FreeBSD but 
 they aren't received (the input data of statistics
 is always 0); (I can see the ICMP-reply that are 
 sended from the switch to the FreeBSD machine 
 looking the switch PDUs statistics)


 - anybody can help me to resolve this problem ?
   Why the Atm adaptor can't read the data ?

 - There is something wrong in the configuration ?
   May be the settings for the PVC ?
   
 - there is a way to use a program like tcpdump with 
   ATM ? (the comand "tcpdump -i atm0" NOT work)

  

      Thank you very much.
