I've just installed the new 2.1.5-release on my machine with an old 3c505 network card in it... After some searching, I found that the eg driver supports my card, although it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. I recompiled the kernel and set up the network options in sysconfig...On boot, FreeBSD recognizes my card, and ifconfig's it for me, etc... Heres some background: I have two machines at home that are ethernetted together (my computer, and my father's): Jason (mine) 192.168.1.1 Art (his) 192.158.1.2 My computer of course is running FreeBSD and my father's machine is running DOS/Win3.1. Now the problem is: When I try to telnet into jason from art using NCSA Telnet (2.3.08, if it matters), it simply hangs there. Examining the arp cache with `arp -a' shows that theres no entry for art. Then I try pinging art from jason, which works perfectly, and sticks an entry for art in the arp cache. Only _after_ I've pinged art from jason can art connect to jason. Another weird effect is that if I try to connect again, I have to manually delete art's entry in the arp cache, ping art again, and then it will connect. Ifconfig eg0 gives: eg0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 And my routing tables look like: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire localhost localhost UH 0 0 lo0 garman-net link#1 UC 0 0 jason 2:60:8c:1b:3d:d5 UHLW 0 4 lo0 art 2:60:8c:e:65:ae UHLW 3 295 eg0 441 The last two entries of course appear after I've established a connection... Any ideas????? -- Jason
