In localhost.freebsd.questions you write: >Hi all, >I'm trying to network my Win95 PC to FreeBSD on another PC via Ethernet >(works just fine Win95 to Win95 so it's not hardware related). I've tried >both basic TCP/IP and IPX on the Win95 machine (enabled/set up in rc.conf >on the BSD machine, of course). The packets are getting received on the >FreeBSD machine, but I get "Socket : Protocol not supported" messages and Where -- on the Win95 machine, or the FreeBSD machine? >nothing else happens. I tried to connect via anonymous FTP to the FreeBSD >machine, and the socket connected, but then it just sits there and does >nothing forever - no welcome message, nothing (I'm sure I set it up right). >Yes, I set "TCP Extensions = YES" in rc.conf. Doesn't help. 1. FreeBSD expects to do a reverse name lookup when you FTP, so you need to have a name server running or /etc/hosts configured with the reverses properly specified. Otherwise, ftp may take a minute or more to return a prompt. This is also true of telnet. Also, make sure that your routing, etc are specified correctly on both the Win95 and FreeBSD machines. what does ifconfig -a say on the FreeBSD machine? -- bryan k ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
