I have a 3com 3c509 network card on 1 machine which is on a small network with 3 other machines. 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'm not sure whether it makes any difference or not but it didnt work right after the install nor did it work after recompiling the kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated, 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. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@alum.mit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
