I am trying to set up a Free BSD server with an SMC Elite ethernet card to talk to a W95 box with another SMC Elite card on a local network at home. I used the hardware jumpers to set the SMC card in the bsd box to 0x300,10,cc000 and during bootup used UserConfig to set these parameters for ed1. The system recognizes the card is there. W95 recognized the card and loaded the appropriate drivers using the software config setting on the SMC card. I ifconfiged the ed1 interface: ifconfig ed1 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0. On w95 I set the IP address to 10.0.0.3 and set the netmask to 255.255.255.0. So far so good. I can see packets being transmitted (using netstat -I ) from either box but neither box will answer a PING. The send and receive lights on the SMC cards light up when a ping is sent on either end. The BSD box has the correct ethernet address for the w95 box so ARP seems to be working but still NO PING. Any ideas or advice would be welcome! Dale McSwain
