On boot up the following message appears, " Strange Connector Type on EEPROM using UTP(forced)". The interface comes up and the IP address can be pinged locally. However, another computer, running NT, which is connected directly through a crossover cable cannot be seen by the BSD machine and visa versa. The machine running BSD is dual bootable with Win98. When used in Win98 mode the interface with the same cable configuration works fine. Could you advise.
