I have two machines set up: one runs FreeBSD 2.2.1, the other Linux (slackware, kernel 2.0.27). I'd really like to connect these two machines together via PLIP. I know FreeBSD 2.2 can talk to linux's PLIP, but I've had no luck so far. Here's what I've been doing. The FreeBSD box has the ip address of .65 and the linux machine has .66 (both in my mini subnet): On the FreeBSD box: ifconfig lp0 link0 206.15.131.65 206.15.131.66 Over in linux: ifconfig plip1 206.15.131.66 pointopoint 206.15.131.65 Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do a blessed thing; I cannot ping one machine from another, and linux's ifconfig plip1 shows that no packets have traversed the interface. What am I doing wrong here? I've searched high and low to no avail. Thanks, -S
