I am running FreeBSD 2.2.5 on a 486-66 computer with the following hardware: Generic Hayes Compatible Modem on COM2, IRQ3 NE2000 Compatible NIC on IRQ10, I/O 300 I can ping localhost and ping curly, on the FreeBSD unit as the tutorial describes. But I should mention here that this tutorial describes making changes to /etc/sysconfig ... NOT! This was my problem for the first few hours. I found out it was rc.conf which needs to be changed in lieu of sysconf. You might want to correct this in you tutorial. My FreeBSD box is connected via BNC cable to three other machines. A Novell 4.1 server and two Windows 95 machines. I can login to the Novell server with the Windows 95 machines and can ping them. But I can't ping them from the FreeBSD machine, nor visa versa. I have been back through the tutorial, section 3.1 through section 5.1 several times. I found a few typos, but all looks according to the tutorial. Still I can't see the FreeBSD machines with the Windows95 machines. Can anyone help?
