We can establish that there is nothing wrong with the NT box, it talks to
the gateway
We can establish that there is nothing wrong with the cabling (coax problems
generally affect everything on a segment
Therefore, we can conclude:
- A configuration error on the FBSD system - relative to the network
- A flakey card
You may want to post the following to me,
- The interface configuration of your FBSD box (ifconfig -ax)
- The routing table ... (netstat -rn)
- The network and protocol configs of the NT system
- Any further details about the gateway config (ip addresses,
netmasks etc.)
Another tool that you can use is tcpdump to examine the traffic on the
ethernet. This may help indicate what - if any - traffic the card is able
to see ... check the man page...
