The network card comes up without a problem but when I try to ping other machines it will happily send out pings but will not receive a reply. it willl telnet or ssh itself by loopback and by its own network card, I have not blocked any ports nor have I setup any type of a firewall. I am running version 4.0

I've got two machines (FreeBSD 5.0 and OpenBSD 2.7) with 3C509s,

  ep0: <3Com 3C509-TP EtherLink III> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0

And both seem to be working fine.

What is your,

  $ dmesg
  $ ifconfig ep0
  $ tcpdump -i ep0

Output? How do you know it is sending out pings? When you telnet to
your own IP address, it goes through the loopback, not the NIC. That
says nothing about the NIC.
