located a typo in /etc/rc.conf; have set:
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
after reboot ifconfig -a results:
ed0: flags=8843 <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:00:c0:0f:62:9b
ping 192.168.1.255 from freebsd box results:
PING 192.168.1.255(192.168.1.255): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=266 time=0.169 ms (this line
repeats only time changes a bit and icmp_seq increments; no response
from other box)
/etc/rc.conf Network configuration section reads:
hostname="arnold.my.domain"
nisdomainname="NO"
firewall="NO"
tcp_extensions="YES"
network_interfaces="lo0 ed0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
further down in Network routing options only change i made was:
gateway_enable="YES"
on the windoze end tcp/ip is set as follows:
ip address: 192.168.1.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.2
/etc/hosts reads (on both boxes):
192.168.1.1 missarlene missarlene.my.domain #Windows NT
192.168.1.2 arnold arnold.my.domain #FreeBSD System
127.0.0.1 localhost
according to diagnostics on the windoze box, tcp/ip starts at boot and
is runnung.
