I'm having networking problems and I'm stumped. I think it's probably
something straightforward that I'm missing but I'm out of ideas.
I have a laptop that I can connect on one network without a problem so I
think the ethernet card is setup okay.
I can't seem to get it working on the other network (which is of course the
one I really want :) I hope someone can help me out.
I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.5 with PAO installed. ep0 driver for a 3COM589D
On both networks everything seems to boot okay but on the 172 I always get
'host is down' when I try to ping from my box. I also can't ping my box
from others on the 172.
Here's part of my rc.conf, netstat -rn, ifconfig ep0 for the one that WORKS:

I can access the 172 with Win95 but not FreeBSD. I tried playing with the
"gateway-enable" option because I believe the 172 network doesn't have a
'proper gateway'.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
