Message-ID: <CDszqr.14u@newsserver.technet.sg> Sender: news@newsserver.technet.sg Nntp-Posting-Host: solomon.technet.sg Organization: Technet, Singapore X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1993 10:56:50 GMT Lines: 27 I have successfully install FreeBSD with binary distribution. My problem now is networking. I am using a NE2000 compatible card (SVEC FD0490I). The card can run as NE2000 under DOS and the connection was tested using DOS TCP/IP programs. I got the following in the startup ... wd0: ... ne0 at 0x300 irq 9 on isa ne0: address 00:c0:6c:32:25:46, TYPE NE2000 npx0 on isa npx0: Errors reported via Exception 16. What is the last line? Anything to do with my ethernet card ? I tried to ping myself ping 192.9.200.1 and I got ping 192.9.200.1 ping: sendto: No route to host ping: wrote 192.9.200.1 64 chars, ret=-1 .... The same thing is seen if I ping another host (192.9.200.2). Can anyone tell me why? Thank you.
