I have successfully install 
FreeBSD with binary distribution.  My problem now is networking.  I am
using a NE2000 compatible card (SVEC FD0490I).  The card can run as
NE2000 under DOS and the connection was tested using DOS TCP/IP programs.
I got the following in the startup
	...
	wd0: ...
	ne0 at 0x300 irq 9 on isa
	ne0: address 00:c0:6c:32:25:46, TYPE NE2000
	npx0 on isa
	npx0: Errors reported via Exception 16.

What is the last line?  Anything to do with my ethernet card ?

I tried to ping myself
	ping 192.9.200.1
and I got
	ping 192.9.200.1
	ping: sendto: No route to host
	ping: wrote 192.9.200.1 64 chars, ret=-1
	....
The same thing is seen if I ping another host (192.9.200.2).

Can anyone tell me why?

Thank you.
