I found out that the station responding to 127.0.0.1 was the one doing the pings. I was not able to find a hostname.ed0. Should I add it ? It seems the only purpose of the file is to specify the network submask and that seems to have been put in hosts.equiv. I also uncommented a line in networks (called from rc.local) which ifconfig's ne0. This only seemed to add strange messages to the start up messages. Is there any test I can do to make sure my network card is working ? Perhaps I can go step-by-step instead of all at once ? For instance, can I simply enter the initialization commands by hand instead of letting a start up script do it ? And then verify each of them afterwards ? Kevin Bailey
