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
