I reported the problem in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc but got no answer. I try to connect my laptop (Toshiba) running FreeBsd 3.1-release and a PC running SuSe Linux 6.0 with a laplink cable. The cable is ok (did some tests with 2 other PCs and PLIP). The SuSe & PLIP configuration is ok. My Toshiba's 460CDT says (dmesg output) : ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa ppc0: generic chipset (ECP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/16 bytes threshold nlpt0: on ppbus 0 nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port I recompiled the kernel with either device pcm0 at isa? port ? net irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 or device pcm0 at isa? port ? tty irq 10 drq 1 flags 0x0 and did the appropriate ifconfig : ifconfig lp0 192.168.255.10 192.168.255.5 but I cannot ping my Suse Box. Any hint on FreeBsd 3.1R's PLIP ? PS : BTW is the FAQ uptodate ? It talks about lpt but it seems to have been replaced by nlpt ("deprecated, use ppbus instead" says the LINT file). Should I use rather lpt ?
