Hello Samba folks,
I thought you might be able to help me.
I have 2 machines, 1 is FreeBSD, 1 is win95. They can't ping each other, but
the bsd box comes up in Network Nieghborhood when Samba is active. What's
going on? Is it not possible to ping a windows machine from a unix box? They
are on the same hub via UTP. IPs are 192.168.1.x and netmasks are same
(255.255.255.0). No ipfw or routed running. Does anyone out there have a
small network like this that mabye I can bounce a few questions off you?
Heres some output to look at:
>> ifconfig -a
pn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet
192.168.1.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

I'm using a linksys LNE100TXII NIC with the "pn" (PNIC) driver in my kernel.

If theres anymore input I can offer, let me know! At this point I'll do just
about anything to get this working. Thanks again!
