Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE on a laptop via PLIP (the lp0 interface). After booting from the bootdisks I can get a connection established (i.e. ping works) between the laptop and my desktop, but I don't know how to get the laptop connected to the net via the default gateway on my LAN. The laptop is using IP 192.168.3.2 for lp0, the desktop's lp0 interface is 192.168.3.1, and the desktop is using 192.168.1.1 as it's default gateway. If I specify 192.168.1.1 for default gw on the laptop, route complains that the network is unreachable, and if I specify 192.168.3.1 as default gw, nothing happens (the intial DNS request just times out) even after setting up the desktop to forward packets using ipfw and natd. Any help is really appreciated, and I will supply any additional information that isn't clear from the above.
