Well... guess what I just did... Anyone who is hooking up a slackware linux box to a freeBSD 5.1 system over the parallel port, skip the hand book all together and add the following lines to your /etc/rc.conf file, interfaces="lo0 xl0 lp0" ifconfig_xl0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xffff0000" ifconfig_lp0="inet 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.9 netmask 0xffffff00 link0" The 'link0' is the key, as it changes the order in which packets are observed, so that the BSD machine reads em like a linux box! Here's to answering one's own questions by typing 'shutdown -r now' :) Rob.
