Hi!
  Thank you for the advice about my 3C590 PCI ethernet card!  Now, 
for additional help... :)

What do I have to do to configure my ethernet card so that 
other (Win95)computers on the LAN can ping it?  All I have done 
so far is recognize that my ethernet card is under the vx0 
device name.   How do I make sure the computer detected 
the card?

Now, for the next step, I think you have to mess around with
the rc.conf file, right?  If I remebered correctly, you have to
do something with the   ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"   line
under the file.  What do I have to change it to?  I am basically
setting up my FreeBSD machine to be able to ping back and
forth with my other peer computers.  I am in no way connected
to the internet and doing anything fancy for now.  Is there
any other files I have to configure my ethernet with?

Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you very much for being
there!
