Hi, > I am trying to set up a crossover cable network between two > computers running FreeBSD 7.0. Are you sure that your corssover cable is good? In the past, with 100Mbps Ethernet, we used crossover cables with only 2 active pairs (other 2 may have been bad and gone unnoticed); nowdays, with 1Gbps Ethernet, the cable will need te 4 pairs. Best regards, Olivier
