I'm using win98 as a proxy to the i-net. I setup BSD like this ifconfig ed1 192.168.0.2 ifconfig tu0 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 The ip 192.168.0.1 is the IP of my NIC card on my windows box. When I go to ping the windows box from the bsd box i get an erro host down. It will ping localhost aswell as its hostname fine, the windows box also has no problem pinging it self. I bought my cable from radio shack and the guy said it will work on my type of network. Is there anything i'm doing wrong in my configuration?
