When I first set up my NetBSD 0.9 box, I did not have any network card
or network connection. I now have Lantastic TCP/IP on my DOS machine and
would like to connect it to my NetBSD machine. I have NE1000 cards which
work fine for DOS-DOS lantastic connections.

Question: Will I have to reinstall NetBSD 0.9 to get it to recognize a
          network card that was not installed when I orginally installed
          NetBSD?

Question: How do I decide on local TCP/IP addresses for my machines?

Thanks for any help or hints.
