Date: Mon, 6 May 1996 08:56:23 Organization: Intel Lines: 22 Message-ID: <Karl_Shepard.30.0008F0D8@ccm.jf.intel.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: kshepard.jf.intel.com X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev A] I want my FreeBSD 2.1 box to start talking through the AUI port. Iwas set up originally to use thinnet. I used IFCONFIG to do the LINK2 and after fooling with it for several hours, I was able to get it to work. The problem is that it will not see anything on boot not even its own lopback address and complains there is no route to the network. It was working fine on thinnet unitl I started playing with it. Now I have to manually configure it after each reboot. I give it : ifconfig ed0 up ifconfig ed0 link2 ifconfig ed0 netmask 0xffffff00 ifconfig ed0 dar (it reads the host table for the address) et, voila! il marche! I have tried to change the sysconfig file to accept these parameters but nothing I enter (I have tried to put link2 in various places on the ifconfig_ed0 command line) will make it see the network on boot. Can someone please give me a hand with this? Thanks, Karl_Shepard@ccm.jf.intel.com
