Hi

I am in the process of setting up a newly installed freebsd 2.2.2 system
on ethernet network.
I am running into the following problems:

I have ep0 configured (3com509), and with the right network, broadcast,
gateway and netmask
(at least they all worked under linux, which is the previous
configuration of the system), and the
interface is up, but pinging froma machine on the same repeater, sitting
right next to the bsd
system, the round trip time is in the order of minutes, like 64 bytes
for 83 sections or something.
Pinging from freebsd to other machines, I get the same problem.

Anyone ran into this problem or know a fix? I already compiled the
kernel once with nothing
but the driver for 3com509, and it is still doing this.

Thanks
Benjie
