(Cross-posted to -mobile and -isp; sorry, I didn't which camp could help...) My situation: I have a laptop that dualboots Win98 and FBSD-4.0. I have a Linksys PCMCIA card that probes as an ed1. The card, in both OSs, works just dandy on several diferent networks. On one particular network, the FreeBSD half won't. Said network has simple topology: on a switched segment, we have umpteen Win98 desktops, and one FBSD-4.0 server. They talk to a Cisco 1600 router. The symptom: the laptop, in FreeBSD mode can talk to all of the hosts, but not to the router. Initial traffic analysis shows that I never get the 'tell' ARP traffic. Bear in mind: rebooting the laptop into Win98, in the same port on the switch, with the same IP address, does generate the expected ARP traffic. The other FreeBSD server can talk to the router just fine. This PCMCIA card comes in several modes (according to the CIS). I've tried all of them; those that work at all don't alleviate the symptom. Before I start researching Cisco-isms, does anyone have any pointers on additional tests, or configuration issues? I can provide any number of details upon request... -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (781) 273-4100 x161 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
