Hi,
I recently installed FreeBSD 2.0 on a 486 66mhz machine with the following
hardware:
Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller,
Toshiba 3x CDROM (SCSI),
Python 4mm tape (SCSI),
540 mb IDE disk,
3COM 3C509 ethernet
The installation went smoothly and everything appears to work fine except
the LAN. When BSD boots up the 3c509 is recognized and the interrupt and and
address appear correctly. When I do an ifconfig ep0, it responds with UP,
RUNNING, BROADCAST, NOTRAILER, and SIMPLEX, pretty much what other Unix
platforms show. What does SIMPLEX mean in this context?
We are currently testing this system on a closed network with a Sun and Dec
Alpha. However, when I ping another host from the BSD box the ping
times-out. However, I can ping the BSD box from itself. We are not running
NIS or YP and want to use the local /etc/hosts file for routing. If you
could provide some direction, or the location of a applicable FAQ, I would
appreciate the help.
Thanks.
If you receive more than one copy of this, I apologize, Eudora doesn't like
my typing much.
