Hello,
In article <Pine.OSF.3.93.960530131336.22409C-100000@amy16.Stanford.EDU>,

Seems so, but I'm a little confused about your subject. Tcpdump,
is a nice tool for logging/monitoring you network traffic, not
for testing a correct configuration. I prefer ping (ICMP), telnet
TCP and TFTP(UDP) for such a test.
okay: you need to setup up an ip address for your fddi interface,
man ifconfig.
e.g. ifconfig fpa0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
if all is working fine, you can enable the automatic
network configuration at /etc/sysconfig. There is already
a line, starting with ifconfig.
I explained this, cause of your phrase:
> Any advice/help/suggestions WARMLY received!
although I'm shure you already did such a setup - cause
you already dealed with tcpdump. Feel free, to leave my
an email if you encounter further problems.
Best regards Dirk
