1. Plip connection between FreeBSD & Linux

hi,

i have a 2 machine n/w - comprising a linuix (2.0.35 kernel) i386 box
connected to a NT box via ethernet . I wish to add my FreeBSD notebook
(2.2.8 ) to this networkvia PLIP  but have so far failed miserably -
and yes I probably don't know what I am doing :-)

I'm usng a 192.168.0.x network thus:

Linux 192.168.0.3
NT 192.168.0.1
FreeBSD 192.168.0.2

Linux and NT communicatre just fine.

I have compiled PLIP support as a module have loaded the plip modules
on Linux.

I set the plip interface on Linux :

ifconfig plip1 linix  pointopoint freeBSD arp up

and on the freebsd I do:

ifconfig lp0 FreeBSD linux

I have a laplink parellel cable between linux and freebsd. And both
machines have appropriate entries in /etc/hosts.

I guess I need to add some sort of route - and did

route add 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0

however netstat -r does show the plip interface with a route to it.
Actually something has jsut occurred to me ((right this moment) - I
have the same IP address for the linux ethernet and Plip port -
presumably this is not good. Ok i'm going to and try changing that.

Menawhile if anyone can offer any pointers I'd be grateful - i'll let
u know if it works after using different addresses for eth0 and plip1
on Linux. What sort of route format do I need to use?

TIA
