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> .........................
