The FreeBSD machine is now at 192.168.1.2 and the Win2k machine is now at 192.168.1.1 However still no progress. I've tried pinging each way and telnetting to the FreeBSD machine, but with no luck. Some further queries: The Win2k machine is set with its gateway as itself, is this correct? Is the default FreeBSD netmask 255.255.255.0 Is this: # ifconfig vr0 192.168.1.2 the correct way to bind an IP to a NIC under FreeBSD? I would like to know this, it is possible that this hub is dead, although I hope not.

Yes, that's correct. There's also a third one you can use, whose numbers I forget. See RFC1918. >check your netmasks on both... same? That was my first thought. What I'm using is 192.168.1.x, with all netmasks set to 255.255.255.0. It seems that (some parts of) WinDoze didn't know what to do with a "class B" network, but once I made it "class C" everyone was happy. Sorry for the archaic terminology. >what about domain name? Shouldn't matter, as long as you're pinging by IP rather than by name. >assuming your are trying to ping rather than establish some other sort >of connection (samba) which may be the source of other ocnfiguration >problems. Yes. I've found TCP/IP is *much* easier to get working than Samba, so get TCP/IP set up first. One step at a time. >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Dominic Marks >Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 11:16 AM >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Win2k, FreeBSD, Small Home Network, Router [major snippage] >I now have working network cards in both my Win2k box and my FreeBSD >Next step: Getting them to connect.
