Yeah, when you pinged from ed0 to fxp0 did the counters of netstat -r go up? Also, when you are pinging from one, run tcpdump/snoop on the other and see if the other end sees anything. Also, at home my freebsd box has an SMC card in it (that's ed0, right?). I don't use the ethernet much, since I only have one machine. But, when I take my laptop home (Sparcbook or an HP running NT or FBSD), I have to have the laptop up first before bringing up my home machine or the SMC won't initialize. That's in either Win95 or FreeBSD. So try having the Solaris box up first then reboot (hard boot) the FreeBSD box. -- Wit is cultured insolence.
