Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I am delving into FreeBSD on a laptop for the first time and I am having trouble with network connectivity. I finally got my hands on a PCMCIA NIC that freebsd will recognize (3Com 3C589), and it does find it just fine, but I can't get any packets out. Here is part of an ifconfig -a zp0: flags=1843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.35 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:a0:24:a8:18:87 I have never seen the LINK0 before. On my other FreeBSD boxes the LINK0 is MULTICAST. I can't find much info on PCMCIA NICs anywhere. A ping to my server give me this: # ping 10.0.0.1 PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down I have green lights on both the NIC and my hub and the cable is known good. The NIC works under Windoz too. Any insight as to what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Oh, FreeBSD-3.2-RELEASE installed off WC-CDROM.
