Hi everybody;

Not doing too well with my first freeBSD install. I have a machine  
set up with the name "fragile", no ipv6, DHCP, no ipfw, and sshd on.

Problem is, I can ping out to other machines on the network, or to  
another machine on the Internet ('net connection via another winXP  
machine), but neither of the other machine on the network can ping  
fragile. Fragile can ping itself via localhost, but not by name.

 From any machine, or fragile itself, pinging "fragile" or the IP gives:

bramley:~ phil$ ping fragile
PING fragile.mshome.net (192.168.0.116): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
^C
--- fragile.mshome.net ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
bramley:~ phil$

Any ideas?
