Hi all. I need help, please. Installed FreeBSD today out of a desire to learn
a new operating system. And I can't get networking, which is a real problem
for a gateway machine. The kernel appears to recognise the card fine (lists MAC
address against type NE2000 and gives name - RealTek 8029 in /var/log/messages).
ifconfig says that ed0 is UP, etc with inet 10.0.0.1 (correct) and netmask
0xffffff00 and broadcast 10.0.0.255 but I can't ping 10.0.0.x (tried two boxes).

The network card was working fine this morning under Red Hat. At the moment we
are looking at possibly going back to redhat because we need this box back by
the end of the weekend. Can anyone help, please?
