Well, how are you going about it? I've done a number of PLIP installs to laptops and they've always "just worked" - I assign an RFC1918 address to each end (say 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2), make sure the link is marked "up" on the host side, and it just goes. If you're going to install from bits somewhere *other* than the host box, of course, then you need to turn IP forwarding on for it. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
