The machine ``tetrad'' is in domain ``micr.virginia.edu''. The system can make network connections with other systems in the same ``micr'' subnet, but nothing outside. Details below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Mitch (1) The hardware is OK. I can boot MS-DOS from the same machine, and connect outside the subnet, and through other routers and gateways. (2) Here is the line in my /sys/i386/conf configuration file: # driver for the Etherlink III ( 3C509 ) card, beta version. device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr (3) Here is the autodonfigure probing during boot: Jun 29 14:32:21 tetrad /386bsd: ep0 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa Jun 29 14:32:21 tetrad /386bsd: ep0: aui/bnc/utp address 00:20:af:03:ab:91 (4) Here is the the ifconfig line generated by /etc/netstart: ifconfig ep0 inet 128.143.16.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 128.143.16.0 aui (5) Here is what the interface looks like when it's running: $ ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,ALTPHYS> inet 128.143.16.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 128.143.16.0 (6) I can telnet, rlogin, etc to a machine in the same subnet.
