Apparently I'm supposed to, as you said, remove the compression. Disabling this feature got it working. Thanks for responding! Actually now I have another question. :) I recently had some problems with getting my Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 board to work. I was able to get it working by turning off PnP from the BIOS. Unfortunately, I think there is something wrong. FreeBSD identifies the ethernet address as: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem right. :-) It gave me a warning saying that the EEPROM had 0 as the IRQ. Putting this in the kernel doesn't work. I can ping myself and even telnet to myself after I configure ex0, but it won't see the rest of my LAN. (I have an Amiga running a TCP/IP stack on the other end) So if ping 10.1.1.1, I should get ACKS from the Amiga, but alas that isn't the case. It is days like this that my .sig makes a lot of sense. ;) sri --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sri Ramkrishna /|\ Unix is very user friendly, its just very picky email: sri@aracnet.com -|- on who it is friendly to. -- Unknown? phone: 503-645-4868 \|/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
