Hi,

I'm trying to connect a DOS based laptop via a Parallel laplink cable to my 
FreeBSD box, without sucess.

I'm using the PLIP.COM packet driver on my DOS machine & the lp0 interface on 
the FreeBSD box.

I use the following line to setup lp0
    ifconfig lp0 203.61.202.20 203.61.202.24

The DOS machine is set to use the IP address 203.61.202.24

Any ideas??
