I have read handbook part about networking and it seems that my configuration is fine. /etc/rc.conf (part with networking) defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" #my winxp gateway box hostname="gangster.chicago30s.com" #complitely fake, I do not have a domain ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifcoinfig -m ep0 (ep0 my network, 3com 3c509) ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::220:afff:fe58:e700%ep0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:20:af:58:a7:00 media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP supported media: media 10baseT/UTP media 10base5/AUI OK. I am using box with winxp on it as a gateway, another box with win98 is in the lan and works fine - can use internet, pings, all nice. My freebsd 4.4 box pings itself as 192.168.0.3, but does not ping gateway (192.168.0.1) and another lan box (192.168.0.2), those 2 win boxes do not ping bsd either. NIC is fine, just checked by plugging into another pc, physical connection is fine too - my hub's light is led showing that. Bottom line - I wan to add my freebsd box to home lan (2 more win boxes) and then use my winxp box as a gateway for freebsd's internet. As mail-list-name implies, I am new to both freebsd and unix, so don't blame me if I missed something important :) cheers, AlCapone ----------------------------------------------- What is difficult takes time, what is impossible takes a little longer. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
