I've got it running with to fxp (Intel) cards in a situation very similar to the one you appear to be describing. As far as I can tell, all you have to do is turn it on and it works. Since it appears you only have two hosts I have to wonder, why not sell off one of the extra xl's and buy a 4-5 port hub so both hosts are on directly attached? Obviously that eliminates firewalling, but it would eliminate a bunch of complexity. -- Brooks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
