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??
