Now we are getting to the meat of the problem.
first your fbsd box
check your /etc/rc.conf (which is where your nic config should be
your ifconfig line should be something like:
ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
^^^ may be different depending on brand of card
this assigns the ip address of the interface, and the proper netmask
do that first and do a reboot or reinit of your machine... try to
conenct again, then look at your win2k machine
I would suspeck that if you do not have a path to the real world, that
your gateway would be left blank on the win2k machine

Subject: RE: Win2k, FreeBSD, Small Home Network, Router
The FreeBSD machine is now at 192.168.1.2 and the Win2k machine is now
at
192.168.1.1 However still no progress. I've tried pinging each way and
telnetting to the FreeBSD machine, but with no luck.
Some further queries:
The Win2k machine is set with its gateway as itself, is this correct?
Is the default FreeBSD netmask 255.255.255.0
Is this:
# ifconfig vr0 192.168.1.2
the correct way to bind an IP to a NIC under FreeBSD?
I would like to know this, it is possible that this hub is dead,
although I
hope not.
Many thanks for any help
