ed1 IPFW question:
  
My situation is as follows:  I have a PC with FreeBSD 2.0.5-R on it and two 
ethernet cards, ed0 connected to the Internet and ed1 connected to a PC 
running PCTCP, used for testing.  I have already recompiled the 
FreeBSD kernel and turned on the appropriate IPFW options:  GATEWAY, 
IPFIREWALL, IPFIREWALL, IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE, and IPACCT.   I have added ed1 to 
my kernel and my sysconfig but, I can't seem to get FreeBSD to use ed1.  When 
I try to ping ed1 from my test PC I get an ARP failed or unknown host error 
and when I try to ping from ed1 to the test PC it times out.  Is this a 
routing problem?  If so how do I go about setting up routes.  Or have I 
forgotten something else in the IPFW setup process.
