Subject:   Cannot talk on 2nd enet
Message-ID:  <19981221112642.35033@i-pi.com>

I have a FreeBSD 2.2.6 machine running as a router with a PPP link and
an ethernet.  This all works fine.

Now, I want to add a second ethernet.  I have tried two enet cards with
the same result.  At least one of these cards was known to work in a
previous machine.

The problem is that the router is unable to talk to any of the machines
on the second ethernet.

I know the hub is good, because machines on it can talk to each other.

The link light on the hub and card light, indicating that I likely have
a good cable and connection.

Pinging from a host on the 2nd enet to the router or from the router to
a host gives ``host is down'' messages.

The address space for the two enets on the router are split class C
addrs (25 bits of network, 7 of host).

ifconfig of the 2 enet cards gives:
ie0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 198.49.217.129 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 198.49.217.255
	ether 00:aa:00:a8:cd:19 
de0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 198.49.217.4 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 198.49.217.127
	inet 198.49.217.16 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 198.49.217.16
	ether 00:00:f8:01:80:c6 
	media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active

ie0 is the enet card on the new net.  de0 works fine and machines route
through it with no problems.

netstat -rn shows:

Suggestions about how to get the router talking on the 2nd enet?
