Hi... This may be old hat, but here goes... Just a little backgroud: I'm tring to get 386BSD to talk to my ISC3.0 box but so far only slip works! I just recently aquired 386BSD, and have been installing it. The documentation mentions that it supports western digital (SMC) network cards. I have such a beast, and 386BSD does indeed detect the card upon boot-up. However after configuring it with: ifconfig we0 192.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.1.1.255 and: route add default 192.1.1.1 ping 192.1.1.1 does nothing (NADA) the activity lights on the card don't even flash. Going the other way (ISC3.0->386BSD ping makes the RX light flash on the card but it seems to be ignoring the packets.) I noticed however that when I set a new address with ifconfig a packet is transmitted (lights flash and packet count goes up on ISC machine.) I've tried with Tarry's new distribution tiny bsd and that didn't help either. Any comments / sugestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- captain@broue.rot.qc.ca | Andrew Webster | "The engines canna take it | | anymore cap'n..."

Going the other way (ISC3.0->386BSD ping makes the RX light >flash on the card but it seems to be ignoring the packets.) I have a similiar problem using an older WD8003. The card is configured to the default address and is detected on boot. I've tried the above ifconfig and route command (with my IP address) and variations with little success. Ftp reports a timeout. I do get a message on the BSD machines console "reject 65531" repeated as it see's pings or other packets addressed to it. -- Stuart Lynne <sl@wimsey.com> .........................
