Ok, I now have working network cards in both my Win2k box and my FreeBSD box (thanks to all concerned). I have got a hub and cable and connected them up. Good so far, I get green lights on the hub and it seems that both machines setup a 10Mbps connection to the hub. Next step: Getting them to connect. I assigned an IP address to my NIC on FreeBSD (192.0.2.1) and the Win2k machine (192.0.2.2). Now is there anything else I need to do? I haven't been able to establish a connection between the two boxes in this way (tried pinging Win2k from FreeBSD and FreeBSD from Win2k, no luck). Could someone please help me identify the crucial stage I've missed in this process. Many Thanks Dominic Marks _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
