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.
