Doesn't help. 1. FreeBSD expects to do a reverse name lookup when you FTP, so you need to have a name server running or /etc/hosts configured with the reverses properly specified. Otherwise, ftp may take a minute or more to return a prompt. This is also true of telnet. Also, make sure that your routing, etc are specified correctly on both the Win95 and FreeBSD machines. what does ifconfig -a say on the FreeBSD machine? -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
