I guess I shouldn't jump in the middle of this but... There's no ip address on your ethernet card. Did you configure one in rc.conf? ifconfig ed1 192.168.0.x up then the route command. Actually, you don't need a route command, if it really is just 2 computers hooked together with nothing to the outside world or any other machine. Here's a guess, is 192.168.0.1 you set as the default route the address you want the FBSD machine to be? Or is it the Win95 machine and you want your machine to be 192.168.0.2?

No. It just means you don't have any custom settings for the kernel. -- "Always nice to see that technical accuracy doesn't stand in the way of good television." --Derek Hart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
