perhaps my ignorance here... i believe 192.X is routable, you should be using 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X as your IP addresses for internal non-routable. May want to check that though if you are not connected to the outside world yet it woudln't make a difference. check your netmasks on both... same? what about domain name? assuming your are trying to ping rather than establish some other sort of connection (samba) which may be the source of other ocnfiguration problems. Dave -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Dominic Marks Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 11:16 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Win2k, FreeBSD, Small Home Network, Router Ok, I now have working network cards in both my Win2k box and my FreeBSD box (thanks to all concerned). I have got a hub and cable and connected them up. Good so far, I get green lights on the hub and it seems that both machines setup a 10Mbps connection to the hub. Next step: Getting them to connect. I assigned an IP address to my NIC on FreeBSD (192.0.2.1) and the Win2k machine (192.0.2.2). Now is there anything else I need to do? I haven't been able to establish a connection between the two boxes in this way (tried pinging Win2k from FreeBSD and FreeBSD from Win2k, no luck). Could someone please help me identify the crucial stage I've missed in this process. Many Thanks Dominic Marks ______________________________________________________________________ ___ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
