Yes, it is. I set my ethernet address as 192.168.254.3 > Do you have any firewalls enabled on any of the box's? Yes, I've got a firewall enabled on the linux box which works as server to provide the internet connection to the other lan's boxes. But since I installed the LAN, I haven't got any kind of ping/ethernet troubles with other operative systems like Linux or Windows. > Can you ping the FreeBSD box from other box's? No, I can't.. :-(( > What does a packet sniffer show when you try to ping it or get ping'd from > other box's? Are packets actually being send and recieved? I've tried with tcpdump But I can't receive any packets. > Is the switch/hub dodgy? Try chaning ports to a port you know to work. I've tried to change port but nothing works, I still can't ping any machine. > Is there any encryption running over the network? (ie, ipsec and the like) No, there isn't Only the "status" (reading the ifconfig -a output) of my dc0 ethernet adapter seems to work. If I detach the ethernet cable off the adapter, status changes from "active" to "no carrier". Thankss again for helping me with this trouble! ^_^
