I have a 3 computer intranet in my room. 2 machines are win95 and 1 is FreeBSD 3.2. They are connected via 10BaseT UTP at a Linksys hub. Heres my problem: I can't ping the windows machines at all, and the windows machines can't ping the FreeBSD machine. The windows machines can ping each other. To make things more complicated, when I run tcpdump I can see the attempts from the windows machines on the BSD box with the proper ips. Heres the output from tcpdump when I ping BSD: 12:37:26.618523 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:28.102603 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:29.120196 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request 12:37:30.135294 200.200.1.2 > 200.200.1.3: icmp: echo request Why isn't the BSD box responding? The computers are seeing each other, but not at the same time. Do I need to do routing even though they are directly connected on the same hub? Thanks in advance! Alex Teslik Someday I'll kick this crappy address and service. Too far from phone company for DSL. doh.
