Thanks to everyone who has tried to help me. My mini-network is still
not working! I have read and attempted to follow the "Pedantic PPP Primer".
Here's what I've done:
On Lose95 box:
Added Linksys Ether16 LAN CARD. Lose95 recognizes it and loaded appropriate
drivers from both the Lose95 CDROM and the Linksys disk.
Here's a copy of the c:\Windows\Hosts file:
[deleted Micor$oft comments]
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.2 ppp.best.com
206.184.160.196 bsampley.vip.best.com
204.156.128.1 www.best.com
----
Here's the info from the TCP/IP --> Linksys Ether16 LAN Card dialog box:
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 206.184.160.196
DNS Configuration:
Host: ppp Domain: best.com
DNS Server Search Order:
204.156.128.1
204.156.128.10
204.156.128.20
Binding:
Client for MS Networks
File and Print Sharing for MS Network
I can ping only ping the lcoalhost. If I try a valid IP address Lose95
keeps puking up:
Request timed out [repeated 5 times]
If I try a named host like www.best.com it will just hang until ^C is
entered.
Telnet fails to connect to the FBSD box. Since both Telnet and ping fail
I haven't bothered to try FTP.

On the real machine I have done the following:
I've edited the /etc/sysconfig with the following:
added de0 to the network_interfaces= line
added: ifconfig_de0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
changed: gateway=YES from gateway=NO
verified my host name is correct.
Here's the output of ifconfig -a:
bash$ ifconfig -a
de0: flags=c843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
bash$
I can successfully ping the localhost, www.best.com and the Lose95 box
from the FBSD side:
bash$ ping ppp.best.com

Here's my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
206.184.160.196 bsampley.vip.best.com bsampley
192.168.1.2 ppp.best.com
Here's my /etc/resolv.conf file:
bash$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain vip.best.com
nameserver 204.156.128.1
nameserver 204.156.128.10
nameserver 204.156.128.20
Here's /etc/host.conf:
bash$ cat host.conf
# $FreeBSD$
# Default is to use the nameserver first
bind
# If that doesn't work, then try the /etc/hosts file
hosts
# If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line
# nis
What am I doing wrong?????
User-ppp works fine form the FBSD box to best.com.
Oh, BTW, the Ethernet cards are connected with a 50 ft thin coax cable w/ 2 'T'
connecters and terminated on the ends w/ 50 ohm terminators.
Other notes of interest:
206.184.160.196 is the static IP address wwww.best.com has assigned to me.
204.156.128.1 is the DNS and gateway address at www.best.com.
I believe Best Internet Services is using FBSD on some of their boxes.
