    What does your ifconfig statement look like? If you are running it from
the command line it should be:

ifconfig ln0 inet up 192.168.1.16 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask
255.255.255.0

    If you made the file ifconfig.ln0 in /etc then it would be the above
line without ifconfig.

    Where 192.168.1.16 is the machines IP address. You also need to add the
IP, hostname and aliases to your /etc/hosts file and adding the hardware
addresses and machine name to /etc/ethers. That should get them talking.
