However I decided to get another PC, load it with NetBSD and play around with networking So I bought two NE2000 'clone' boards (cheap) and dropped them in. On bootup the cards were correctly recongized as I/O 0x300 and IRQ9. On the machine that was running for a while, I did an ifconfig ne0 126.0.0.1 I then loaded the other machine from the boot/fs floppies and preped the HD. So as not to flip mega floppies I decided to try to ftp the distribution from my other system. Sooo, I did an ifconfig ne0 126.0.0.2 When I do an ftp 126.0.0.1 nothing happens - except for a timeout. I see that the receive light flashes on the network card on the main box, and the transmit on the slave box. Am I missing something obvious? I looked through the FAQ, and nothing. BTW, there is no exotic hardware in any of these machines. I stripped them to the HD/FD controller and the video card. Your help is appreciated. (I will summarize responses) cheers alex
