Hi all,

First of all excuse my english.

I' m trying to learn TCP/IP with Wright & Stevens "TCP/IP Illustrated 
Volume 2" .So I installed NetBsd 1.4.2. But I can make my little LAN work 
with the NetBsd.I have two computers:

1)  W95/NetBsd 1.4.2 with ne2000 card. Address 10.0.0.1
2) W95/NT 4.0/Linux with ne2000 card. Address 10.0.0.2

When I installed NetBsd I didn't configure the LAN so I have to do manually.

My problems with machine 10.0.0.1are:

1) When NetBsd boots it don't configure the ne2000 but
     auto_ifconfig= YES in rc.conf.

2) Trying to configure the ne1 interface with things like:

     *** ifconfig ne1 inet 10.0.0.1 arp netmask 255.255.255.0

     *** route -nv add -host 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1

     don't work. Netstat -rn shows things like:

    *** 10/24          link#1           UC      0   ne1
    *** 10.0.0.1      00:40:33:35   UHL    0   lo0
    *** 10.0.0.2      link#1            UHRL      ne1

       what is link#1?

3) Should I change ?:
      routed=NO
       gated=NO      in    rc.conf

4) Where can i found more information about the output of netstat ?

Thanks in advance
