I get "ed2 timeout" followed by intermittant host down messages when pinging. I can observe ping traffic from the NeXT toggling the RX light on the NetBSD box, but the NetBSD box doesnt seem to even toggle its TX Led at all. I saw a note regarding the 3coms option of link0, so I even tried that :-( no luck. I know my NeXT is working fine as I downloaded the BSD distributions with my NT box, then FTP'd them to the NeXT. I'm using a UTP crossover cable for the connection. Ideas anyone? -- Eric Ulmer Networking Consultant, ServiceNet, LLC. eulmer@isd.net ulmerer@ebs.ac.com http://www.isd.net/eulmer http://www.ac.com/topstories/currnews/ts_dfr96-0618.html
