Greetings, I am trying to get a simple two system network set up. WindowsNT on one machine and 2.1.5 (2.2.1 CD ordered) on the other. The cards are NE2000 and successfully installed (both machines recognize them - ed0 on the freeBSD side). I know they can see each other because the errors I'm getting. If I can get the freeBSD side to work then I can sort out the other. I've tried everything I can think of. What goes in the appropriate /etc files? I'm not running routed. I think the ifconfig statements are ok (in sysconfig), at least they (lo0 and tun0) work when I'm dialing out, and the one for ed0 looks like the others and those in the manuals. What is happening is this: an attempt to ftp theother machine loops back to the local one. The other error is that both machines report the same IP number for their respective cards, and I really can't see how I did that. The network will be run as a private one. Connections to the Internet are through one of them and not when the network is in use (both up), that is for later. I'm very confused... You can't tell, can you? Thanks for the help - and patience! John
