My last email  as below the line.Thank you for your suggestion but my bsd 
box still don't work.
Here some additive details:
*************
I would like to tell about  my configuration after installation NetBSD 
1.5.1.
1. I created file /etc/ifconfig.ep0   that contain line
     inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
2. Edit /etc/rc.conf  add following line
    auto_ifconfig=YES
after this step I run /etc/rc.d/network restart
it show like this
....
....
/etc/rc.d/network: WARNING :$hostname not set

=> How to solve this warning.?
....
....
3. I add  sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
    in /etc/rc.local  and reboot (shutdown -r now) the box.

4. after step 3 I test the box by call "tcpdump -nv -i ep0" command
    it show "tcpdump: listening on ep0"
     and ping 192.168.1.1 from windows98
     no any response from netbsd box I press Ctrl-c
     it show
     "0 packets recieved by filter"
     "0 packets dropped by kernel"

4. My 3C509 network card use IRQ 3  when I test
    with "vmstat -i" it show
    interrupt                               total            rate
    ....
    ....
    irq3                                        1                     0
    ....
    ....
    althought I ping from win98 to it again the number from this command not 
change.

    5. I test with "netstat -in" it show like this
        Name     Mtu     Network        Address                  Ipkts    
Ierrs     Opkts    Oerrs     Colls

      11             0             0
	ep0          1500  192.168.1     192.168.1.1              0             0

	ep0           1500    fe80::/64     fe80::260:8cff:fe     0             0   
         11            0             0
	lo               33228 ......

	ppp0....
	ppp1.....

6. I test with "ping 192.168.1.1 - from win98  the result is
     Request time out.
     and if I ping from bsd box to win98  machine it show
     ping: sendto: Host is down

I think this detail will tell you to focus the problem on my box .I  want to 
know some thing too such as
how to make NUMLOCK on automatically when boot the system. How to install 
package from i386pkg1 disc
(such as bash-2.04.tgz). Thank you very much for your suggestion.  Please 
help me again.

Thank you.
