I am connecting two computers a p3 (redhat linux) and a p1 (freebsd 4.1). Unfortunately, things aren't working quite as they should :-) Help would be greatly appreciated. I have setup networking on both the computers, I don't have a firewall on the linux machine either. I can ping the p3 (or even ftp/telnet into it) from the freebsd machine. However, I cannot even ping the p1 box from the linux machine. Any idea what the problem could be? Is it a problem with a firewall that I may have on the freebsd machine? How can I disable it and allow all connections? Why can't I ping the freebsd machine from the linux machine? Do I have to change something on the freebsd machine? How can I allow pings? Here is the output of netstat -rn AND ifconfig on both the machines.
