ETHERNET Date: Sun, 07 Jul 1996 11:44:36 -0900 Organization: APANA Sydney, Triode BBS Lines: 15 Message-ID: <31E021B4.49ED@triode.apana.org.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: dialup3.triode.apana.org.au Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01Gold (Win95; I) I been trying (unsucessfully) for the past week or so to get an Ethernet connection working with FreeBSD. I am using NE2000 adapters, which are recognised correctly etc, but I don't know what I need to put in the /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig files to get it to function. What I want to be able to do is browse the web etc from my other computer running Win95. Could somebody possible tell me what I need to do to get it working. I don't have the proper IP numbers yet, so could somebody give me examples using fake numbers that would function over a local system. Also what IP numbers etc to enter in the Win95 networking stuff? Any help would be much appreciated. thanks, Roger
