Hello,
I have a 3 computer network at home. 1 linux box, 1 windows box, and one
freeBSD 2.2.8 box The problem is that I cant get the freeBSD computer on
the network.The windows comp can see the linux box and they can ping each
other. 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<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
   inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:40:33:a1:89:fd
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> 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? What settings should I change on my
freeBSD box?

Thanks
Brian
