Date: 30 Dec 1996 19:38:45 GMT Organization: Rutgers University Lines: 30 Message-ID: <5a95o5$9n5@herald.concentric.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 61053d0003la.concentric.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.7 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33263 Lets say you have two machines, running freebsd. If you do a netstat -i you should see the lp0 interface with a * next to it. Give one machine the ip address: 10.0.0.1 and the other 10.0.0.2. on 10.0.0.1 do the following: ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 On the machine 10.0.0.2 do the following: ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 Make sure the ip #'s of the machines are in /etc/hosts of both machines. That's it. Now all applications should work. Pretty simple? You can also modify /etc/sysconfig if you need this to always come up. Am I forgetting something? Sincerely Andrew Verba
