The configuration I would like to set up is: My ISP This box(tippy) ancient 386 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 166.82.1.201 <---------> 166.82.197.240 sl0 172.16.1.1 <----------->172.16.1.2 ed0 The slip connection works fine. Tippy is running under -current with 1288 as the latest delta applied. The 386 will hopefully soon run under 2.1-R. The cards on both boxes are found. The problem is when I set up the ether on tippy it times out. When I try and install 2.1 via NFS on the 386, ed1 either times out or I get an RPC port mapper error. Nfsd is running on tippy with an exports file that looks like: /dosc/fbsd21 -network 172.16.1 -mask 255.255.255.0 On tippy I set up the connection like: # ifconfig ed0 172.16.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 After which the kernel reports ed0 times out. On the holographic shell while attempting to install 2.1-R on the 386, I set up like this: # ifconfig ed1 172.16.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 # route add default 172.16.1.1 ed1 times out, sometimes 172.16.1.1 can't be resolved, sometimes an RPC error pops up, but the setup utility reports that the network has been successfully initialized. ifconfig -a on tippy looks like (the 386 is about the same): ed:0 flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 172.16.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 ether 00:00:b4:6f:c0:f6 netstat -nr looks like: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 166.82.1.201 UGSc 4 12 sl0 0.82.1.201 166.82.197.240 Uc 0 0 sl0 0.82.197.240 127.0.0.1 Uc 0 0 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 11 lo0 166.82.1.201 166.82.197.240 UH 5 0 sl0 166.82.197.240 127.0.0.1 UGHS 1 5549 lo0 172.16.1 link#1 UC 1 0 172.16.1.1 0:0:b4:6f:c0:f6 UHLW 2 3463 lo0 A tcpdump sometimes will say: #s arp who-has tippy.test tell tippy.test or when I haven't played with /etc/networks tcpdump yeilds: #s arp who-has 172.16.1 tell 172.16.1.1 or this: #s arp who-has 172.16.1.1 tell 172.16.1.1 /etc/hosts presently has: 172.16.1.1 tippy.test 172.16.1.2 tasha.test /etc/networks presently has: your-net 127 your-netmask 255.255.255.0 test 172.16.1 Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
