Hello,
This is my first time setting up anything with ethernet cards
so please don't be to rough;-)
I just purchased two NE2000 clones and am trying to hook up two
FBSD boxes on a local net using bnc connectors. The configuration I would
like to set up is:
My ISP This box(tippy) ancient 386
----------------------------------------------------------------
166.82.1.201 <---------> 166.82.197.240
sl0 172.16.1.1 <----------->172.16.1.2
ed0
The slip connection works fine. Tippy is running under -current
with 1288 as the latest delta applied. The 386 will hopefully soon
run under 2.1-R. The cards on both boxes are found.
The problem is when I set up the ether on tippy it times out. When
I try and install 2.1 via NFS on the 386, ed1 either times out
or I get an RPC port mapper error. Nfsd is running on tippy with
an exports file that looks like:
/dosc/fbsd21 -network 172.16.1 -mask 255.255.255.0
On tippy I set up the connection like:
# ifconfig ed0 172.16.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
After which the kernel reports ed0 times out.
On the holographic shell while attempting to install 2.1-R on the 386,
I set up like this:
# ifconfig ed1 172.16.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
# route add default 172.16.1.1
ed1 times out, sometimes 172.16.1.1 can't be resolved, sometimes
an RPC error pops up, but the setup utility reports that the network
has been successfully initialized.
ifconfig -a on tippy looks like (the 386 is about the same):
ed:0 flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 172.16.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
ether 00:00:b4:6f:c0:f6
netstat -nr looks like:
Routing tables
Internet:

172.16.1 link#1 UC 1 0
172.16.1.1 0:0:b4:6f:c0:f6 UHLW 2 3463 lo0
A tcpdump sometimes will say:
#s arp who-has tippy.test tell tippy.test
or when I haven't played with /etc/networks tcpdump yeilds:
#s arp who-has 172.16.1 tell 172.16.1.1
or this:
#s arp who-has 172.16.1.1 tell 172.16.1.1
/etc/hosts presently has:
172.16.1.1 tippy.test
172.16.1.2 tasha.test
/etc/networks presently has:
your-net 127
your-netmask 255.255.255.0
test 172.16.1
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
