But neither one can ping the freeBSD box and the freeBSD box cant ping the linux or windows box. I know the ethernet card works on the freeBSD box. The rc.conf on the freeBSD comp has these settings. hostname="bomb.channel1.com" network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" ifconfig_ed1="10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_lo0 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_lo0_alias0"inet 127.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff" #### ifconfig -a comes up with this ed1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:40:33:a1:89:fd lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 #### I left out the s10, ppp0,and tun0 the hosts file has this 127.0.0.1 localbomb.channel1.com localhost 10.0.0.2 bomb.channel1.com mothra 10.0.0.2 bomb.channel1.com the linux box has this for the ifconfig -a Link encap:Local Loopback inet address:127.0.0.1 Bcast 127.255.255.255 Mask 255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 METRIC:1 Does anybody know what is wrong?
