Upon reboot, FBSD detects both cards and sets them up but only the original responds to ping. I get the following messages at restart: [snip] ed0 at port 0x240-0x25f iomem 0xd8000 irq 9 drq 0 on isa0 ed0: address 00:40:05:66:b2:55, type NE2000 (16 bit) ed1 at port 0x260-0x27f iomem 0xd8000 irq 11 on isa0 ed1: address 00:40:05:66:b2:52, type NE2000 (16 bit) [snip] Doing initial network setup: hostname domain. ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::240:5ff:fe66:b255%ed0 prefixlen 64 tentative scopeid 0x2 ether 00:40:05:66:b2:55 ed1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::240:5ff:fe66:b252%ed1 prefixlen 64 tentative scopeid 0x3 ether 00:40:05:66:b2:52 [snip] Additional routing options: tcp extensions=NO TCP keepalive=YES. routing daemons:.

I know the card works as it was just removed from another PC and was working under Windows 2000. I have a link light on my hub. What steps should I take to begin troubleshooting? I'm a newbie so please respond assuming I know nothing. :) Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
