Hi Folks,
	I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.3.2 on machine A by getting
the distributions via a network connection from machine B.

I boot machine A with the 1.3 NetBSD boot disk, go to the Utility Menu
and "configure network. " I give a network address of 192.168.37.2
and a netmask of 0xffffff00 (no gateway, or DNS IP numbers).
The ethernet interface on host A is iy0 (EtherExpress Pro/10).

Configuration seems to take place.  Watching with tcpdump on host B I see:
(at configuration time)
20:40:18.732206 arp who-has 192.168.37.2 tell 192.168.37.2

I start up a sh, and try to ping 192.168.37.254 (the address of host B)
from host A.

Watching with tcpdump on host B I see:

20:40:33.821950 arp who-has 192.168.37.254 tell 192.168.37.2
20:40:33.822031 arp reply 192.168.37.254 is-at 0:a0:c9:93:9c:6a
20:40:34.830520 arp who-has 192.168.37.254 tell 192.168.37.2
20:40:36.830396 arp reply 192.168.37.254 is-at 0:a0:c9:93:9c:6a
(repeated a few more times)

but at this point I start seeing "ping: sendto: Host is down"
on host A.

I also try pinging 192.168.37.255 from host A and I see:

20:41:00.130864 192.168.37.2 > 192.168.37.255: icmp: echo request
20:41:00.130950 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo reply
20:41:01.138282 192.168.37.2 > 192.168.37.255: icmp: echo request
20:41:01.138356 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo reply

But at host A, I only see a reply from 192.168.37.2 (the local
address).


Finally I try to ping host A from host B:

20:41:50.787185 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo request
20:41:51.790199 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo request
20:41:57.790184 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo request
20:41:58.790223 192.168.37.254 > 192.168.37.2: icmp: echo request

No reply.

Other data from host B:

These same two machines with the same ethernet cards can communicate
under winblows95 without any problem... 

...and I have another machine on this network that can connect with host
B without problem (a Mac running OS 7.5.5)

Why can't machines A and B connect under NetBSD?  Any help would
be appreciated.

	Thanks.
