For NE2000/WD80xx network_interfaces="lo0 ed0" Change ed0 to match your card (what shows up in dmesg) Then ad a line to ifconfig it. ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.1" > Do I have to set up the machine as a gateway and/or router? Any No. Make sure that router_enable="NO" is set. On the w95 pc, setup the TCP/IP properties on your ethernet card to use fixed IP address (192.168.1.2 or similar in my example) and assigned or no DNS. That should be all it takes.
