Say, 192.168.217.13 your end, and 192.168.217.143 the other end. Enter: # ifconfig lp0 192.168.217.13 192.168.217.143 That's it! To have it automatically at boot time, put the following in your /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="ed1 ed2 ep0 lo0 tun0" The important thing here is that you have lp0 in the list. Don't remove whatever else you have there. ifconfig_lp0="192.168.217.13 192.168.217.143" This line should look familiar from above.
