I'm trying to configure a BSD 2.1 server to run as a proxy server
with three network interfaces:

ef0  outside interface
ef1  inside interface
ef2  dmz

All three are Etherlink III (3C509TP) network cards. All non-PnP ISA.
The cards have been properly configured using a EPROM programming
utility, and they have established contact with their respective
Ethernet hubs. However, IP traffic does not seem to work as it should.

The cards have the following IP setup:

ef0 ip: 1.2.3.4 subnet: 255.255.255.0
ef1 ip: 10.1.254.254 subnet: 255.255.0.0
ef2 ip: 1.2.3.233 subnet: 255.255.255.0

all according to ifconfig. They are initialized at boot time.
Also, dmesg.boot reports no problems.

I can PING to and from the outside interface. I can PING the inside
interface from localhost, but have no contact with other computers
on the inside. I can not even PING the dmz interface from localhost.
Physical links are established, and there is nothing wrong with the
cabling.

Any ideas? I can supply additional information if necessary.
