Hello All,

I am having a networking problem, and It would really make my day if
someone could help me out. I have been trying to get this to work
for 3 days could someone help?

I have a freebsd box(10.0.0.1) networked with windows 95 box(10.0.0.2)
via a hub. ie. freebsd -> hub <- windows

I can ping the windows box(10.0.0.2) from the freebsd box(10.0.0.1),but
CANNOT ping the freebsd box(10.0.0.1) from the windows box(10.0.0.2)
The link lights on the NICs and the hub are on, so the cable connection
is working just fine. When I ping the freebsd box(10.0.0.1) I get:
------
C:\WINDOWS>ping 10.0.0.1

Pinging 10.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
------
Here is the route table on the Windows 95 Box(10.0.0.2):
-----
C:\WINDOWS>netstat -rn

Route Table

Active Routes:

  Network Address  Netmask         Gateway Address  Interface  Metric
  10.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2   1
  10.0.0.2         255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1  1
  10.255.255.255   255.255.255.255 10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2   1
  127.0.0.0        255.0.0.0       127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1  1
  224.0.0.0        224.0.0.0       10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2   1
  255.255.255.255  255.255.255.255 10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2   1

-----

I am using a subnet mask (netmask) of 255.255.255.0, I have also tried
using a subnet mask (netmask) of 255.0.0.0. Both of these did not 
change what is happening.

Any Ideas? I really need to get this network working, so all help
is needed.

Thanks :)
