Hiyas! I'm having a problem with LAN in FreeBSD-2.2.6. I have a 686 with win95 and Realtek PCI ethernet card, and a 586 with win95 and 3Com 503, and a 486 with FreeBSD and 3Com 503. The problem is that I can connect from the 686 to the 486, but not from the 586. The 486 is configured as a gateway, and it works with the 686, but when i try to connect from the 586 it says ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.... changed to 23.d.3.35.23 or something incoherent. The addresses are: 486 : 168.142.1.1 686 : 168.142.1.2 586 : 168.142.1.3 What line must I have in the rc.conf : ifconfig_ed0 = "168.142.1.1 ... etc what must i put there to make all the machines work in the LAN. I have netmasks in all : 255.255.255.0 and dns is my ISP's 194.100.0.1 -> 194.100.0.11 and all the hosts are different in the windows's configuration. So, it works on one machine like : --- 686(win95,168.142.1.2) -> lan_cable -> 486(freebsd 168.142.1.1) ->modem_to_internet(194.100.61.226). --- So the 686 works like it was on internet via the ethernet card. BUT if i put the 586 in there ... like -- 586(win95,168.142.1.3) -> lan_cable -> 686(win95,168.142.1.2) -> lan_cable -> 486(freebsd 168.142.1.1) ->modem_to_internet(194.100.61.226). -- It doesn't work on the 586, only in the 686. When trying to telnet to 168.142.1.1 (468) it says that ff.ff.ff thingie... I have checked the cable etc that's not the problem or neither is the 3Com card. All those machines work together in a Win95 network. I have tried everything to the ifconfig_ed0, i've tried aliases different types, but it still won't recognise the other machine. Only one. Q: What must the configuration line be? //Sampsa Kostia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
