Hi..:)

I wanna ask you about PLIP connection.

I've installed FreBSD 2.2.6 on my desktop and want to connect it
to my Linux notebook via PLIP.

I have no problem connection Linux <--> Linux  with PLIP

but when i try to connect it via PLIP it didn't work.

i dont use any ethernet card on my desktop.

i simply executing command:
ifconfig lp0  my.desktop.ipaddr my.notebook.ipaddr

and ifconfig -a   is:

lp0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet my.desktop.ipaddr --> my.notebook.ipaddr netmask 0xffffff00

netstat -rn  is:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
my.notebook.ipaddr my.desktop.ipaddr  UH          0      0       lp0



On my Linux notebok i simply executing commands:

ifconfig plip1 my.notebook.ipaddr pointopoint my.dekstop.ipaddr netmask
255.255.255.0

my route command:
route add my.notebook.ipaddr plip1
route add my.desktop.ipaddr  plip1

route   is:
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Ref    Use  Iface
my.dekstop.ipaddr  *            255.255.255.255 UH    0      0    plip1
my.notebook.ipaddr *            255.255.255.255 UH    0      0    plip1



but the setting i did above didn't establish the connection between
my Linux & FreeBSD.

I use standar PLIP cable... i've used it many times to connect 
linux <--> linux

Is there anything wrong with my setting? or maybe the PLIP cable config 
for FreeBSD is different from PLIP cable for Linux?


please help me to solve this problem.


Thank you very much in Andvance.. :)
