Congratulations to the FreeBSD crowd. You managed to reduce me to a quivering mass of nerves. After looking through the massive ( lack ) of documentation :-( , I have to do the one thing all grown men hate to do the most. Ask for help... Here is something that should be rather simple. Connect a Linux and FreeBSD box using TCP/IP. I have done this with Linux <--> Linux, but, for the life of me, I cannot talk to the BSD machine. My /etc/hosts files are 127.0.0.1 localhost 172.16.0.10 orion.whatever.com orion 172.16.0.20 xenu.whatever.com xenu my networks file is 172.16.0.0 what-net I ifconfig 172.16.0.10 ( and .20 ) to the devices eth0 and ed1 on the 2 machines respectively. Now on the linux box, I route add orion, and route add what-net I am not so clear on the BSD side of things. There is a slight syntax differnece, and have read the man pages, etc... Also, could someone be so kind as to give me some info on the /etc/sysconfig file... How is yours set up? A few examples could go a long way to making this the easy job I know it to be... All help greatly appreciated. -- Sincerely, Blaine Minazzi
