Hello all.
We are converting from IPX and NETBluey to TCP/IP. So far we have an
NT server running TCP/IP with one connected NT client (works fine).
However, we have no router, nor a DNS (we are not yet connected to the
net).
My FreeBSD box is P/75 32MB RAM, with 3C509 NIC at 340/IRQ 10. On
boot FreeBSD finds the NIC no problem, and does not pause on the add
gateway or sendmail startups, "ifconfig -a" shows the following:
lp0: flags=8810(POINTTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
inet 164.144.6.80 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 164.144.6.255
ether 00:a0:24:25:e4:59
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 552
sl0: flags=c010<POINTTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOTPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
while "netstat -n" gives nothing.
Another netmask I have tried is 255.255.254.0, since we'll be using
two class-C nets. I can send or post sysconfig, etc. on request.
We have a Compass Network Analyzer which I have not been able to make
see my FreeBSD machine. When attempting ping, the Compass unit says
"Specified IP host does not response to ARP requests." I'm bummed.
Someone said something about the NT server using DEC-encompassed
(Frame_II) IP packets as opposed to Frame_802.2. Is this a potential
problem?
Since we have no DNS or router set up (we're still using IPX/NETBEUI
for everthing else) is this the problem? Don't remember this kind of
problems setting up FreeBSD before on a Novell net.
