I have a freebsd 2.2.5 (10.1.1.1) and a win95 machine (10.1.1.2)
connected through a hub using twisted pair.  I can ping outside from the
bsd box, if I ping from 10.1.1.1 -> 10.1.1.2 both lights on the hub blink
as if its reaching but I get:

# ping 10.1.1.2
PING 10.1.1.2 (10.1.1.2): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down

If I ping from 10.1.1.2 -> 10.1.1.1 same case I get blinking lights on
both but get "Request timed out"

It seems like I have a config problem if I ping an un-used ip from either
machine ie (10.1.1.1 -> 10.1.1.3) only the 10.1.1.1 light blinks on the
hub.  Both are on the same subnet mask.

Thanks
