i installed freeBSD and i am having major trouble getting the network to function. i have the BSD machine and an NT machine on a 10BaseT Ethernet. the BSD machine has an Intel EtherExpress 16, which took a while to get configured, but now seems to work properly. according to the freeBSD handbook, and the output from ifconfig and netstat, everything should be working.

i believe the problem is NOT hardware, because if i reboot the BSD machine into Win95 (uh! blasphemy!) both machines see each other just fine.

here is--roughly--what i have tried so far:

ping from BSD
-------------
o no response
o kick off tcpdump in background, try again
  - now I see arp frames (who-has/tell)
o add NT arp entry on BSD, try again
  - now see ip frames (icmp echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx & Rx light BOTH ports
  - however no response comes back
  - NT shows no frames incoming

ping from NT
------------
o timed out
o start utility which shows frame type and count, but that's all
  (unfortunately i could not find an NT port of tcpdump), try again
  - now I see arp frames (i assume who-has/tell)
o add BSD arp entry on NT, try again
  - now see ip frames (i assume echo request)
  - hub activity: Tx light for BSD, Rx for NT (why only 2? and if so,
    i would expect them to be the other way around...)
  - no response comes back
  - BSD shows no frames incoming
 

does anybody have any ideas? i am kinda stuck...it's a bit difficult to install software without the network running :(
TIA
