>Do you have IPFW running? If so, you are probably denying those packets. I'm not running IPFW. >Are all of your netmasks the same? If not, that could be the problem. Yes, everything is set for Class C (255.255.255.0) >I assume these IPs have not been assigned to you. It is better practice to >use reserved addys. 10.x.x.x is all yours, do with it what you will. I was using 192.168.x.x, but in Complete FreeBSD it mentioned routing problems with that addressing. I havn't set up any routing, but just for "safety" I reset my network to 200.200.x.x. I hadn't heard of 10.x.x.x being reserved, so I think I'll switch to that. In the meantime, still no luck getting the BSd machine to ping the win95 machine, and vice versa. This is making me crazy.
