Thanks a lot to all guys who answer me about my pb. With their help, my modem and my ether card are working ! _But_ there is still a pb: due to an unknown reason, my ether card pretends to have the following MAC adress : FF:FF:4B:7E:5E:9A (ahem!) Some services don't run at all : ftp and rsync. Some others are ok when there are run from the laptop to the desktop : ping, rsh, rcp, rlogin, rdate, telnet. No service run from the desktop to the laptop (not even ping...) That's not a tcpd problem as the /etc/hosts.allow on the laptop only contains ALL: ALL: allow. So i suspect this bad MAC adress to be responsible of this pb. Under Windows, the MAC adress of the card is recognized ok (00:10:...) Under Linux, same pb as with FBSD but the ifconfig of Linux allows to change the MAC adress with : 'ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:10:4B:7E:5E:9A' Unfortunately, this option doesn't exist under FBSD. I've try with the 3COM disks i've downloaded from 3com site, but no way... :( So, is it possible to change the MAC address under FBSD? If, not, where could i force this address manually in what code? (not so good, but, if there is no other way...) Thanks in advance, -- --------------------------------------------------------- Éric Jacoboni « No sport, cigars! » (W.
