Hello all, I'm new to this mailing list so please don't flame me if my question is off-topic. I already sent the (more or less) same message to freebsd-install from where I've been pointed here. (BTW thanks for the answers.) The problem is the following: I just installed version 2.0 [OK I know it's a somewhat old release of FreeBSD but it's the only one available to me at the moment :-( ] on a 486DX/33 PC, everything seemed to work smoothly up to the moment where I tried to reach our network. I dug through the information available from the system but up to now I wasn't able to find out why it doesn't work. First, I ran the 3COM utilities to check the connectivity with other systems at ethernet level -> OK Then I checked the logs (/var/log/messages) At boot time I've the following msg: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa ep0 aui/utp[*UTP*] address 00:60:8c:ba:75:2e Which seems sensible, since I've a 3c509 board at address 300 Hex, with IRQ 10 set and using the UTP link. (No address nor IRQ conflict) Running ifconfig and netstat returns the following: ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.9.53 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.9.255 netstat -rn Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 16 lo0 192.168.9 link#2 UC 0 0 ep0 netstat -i Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll lp0* 1500 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 ep0 1500 <Link> 00:60:8c:ba:75:2e 0 0 1 0 0 ep0 1500 192.168.9 tstpc1 0 0 1 0 0 lo0 65532 <Link> 20 0 20 0 0 lo0 65532 your-net localhost 20 0 20 0 0 sl0* 552 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 sl0* 552 <Link> 0 0 0 0 0 Although the output seems Ok, some flags are confusing me. What does SIMPLEX mean? What does C stands for in the netstat -rn? I read the source files but still have no clue :-( I would greatly appreciate any help. TIA.
