Hi everybody, I am trying to set up a crossover cable network between two computers running FreeBSD 7.0. The network cards are configured and they work, i.e. I pinged myself and it works. However, when booting up the systems I always get the error message that the link status of my network cards has changed to down. Running `ifconfig` tells me that no carrier has been detected even though the cable ends are plugged in. Any pointers on how to solve this one are welcome. Thanks Oliver
