I can't communicate! Message-ID: <5117cb$f419.3a7@limper.gsa.gov> Date: Wed, 17 May 1995 20:04:25 GMT Lines: 19 I recently installed FreeBSD on a PC with a 3C509 NIC. I know that the hardware works well. I'm using them (with MS Windoze) to connect to this news server! When I boot BSD, the messages come across saying that the card has been recognized and assigned to en0 or ec0 (It's been a week or two.) But I can't seem to get if ifconfiged and routed to get onto the 'net! Here's some info that might be useful to whomever can help: IP address: 159.142.74.56 (sasquax.gsa.gov) Router address: 159.142.74.1 ? Subnet mask: 255.255.255.192 Network: 159.142 (gsa.gov) Could someone send (or post) the commands I should use in order to setup my system for communucation on the net? I've dinked with ifconfig and route until I'm blue in the face, but I'm getting nowhere, because I don't know what I'm doing!!! Thanks! Al
