Alexandre, and others, I had posted a question about trying to connect NT and freebsd over an ethernet, thanks for the replies. I now have more information. My local net now consists of a Solaris m/c, a Freebsd 2.1 system and an NT 4.0 workstation system. Solaris and NT talk to each other using Internet protocols (e.g. telnet). Freebsd talks to niether - pings don't work in either direction. However both Solaris and NT see the ARP messages from Freebsd and put freebsds ethernet addresses in their tables. and the ehternet card passes it's hardware tests, including talking to the card in the NT system, so I'm confident the hardware is ok I've tried the card with it's plug and play option both off and on, and I'm using the UTP connector through a hub So now I suspect the freebsd ethernet card driver: the card is a Kingston KTC20NT1, which is supposed to be NE2000 compatable. I'm using the ed0 interface. Is any one using this card successfully ? - what other cards are people using ? thanks ruth -- ================================================ Ruth Moulton ruth@muswell.demon.co.uk Consultant 65 Tetherdown, London N.10 1NH, UK Tel:+44 181 883 5823 -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
