New to Freebsd so please excuse me. I assign ip address to my ethernet interface. I can ping my own interface but not other pc's in my LAN. Other pc's can't ping at me either. Can someone give me troubleshooting technique's. When i do a ifconfig ep1 i can see the interface is up and running. Also how do you switch from kde to gnome, thanks so much.

1) check cables and lights on hubs and ethernet cards
2) run 3COMs diag utility (one on (?last) etherdisk called
3c???cfg.exe and check what media type is selected on HUB's port (Or use 10baseT half-duplex if you dont know)
3) check with ifconfig -m whether you need to
ifconfig ep1 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
or something like that to match setting on hub
4)check if your machines are configured in same subnet ...
5) arp -an

Darn,
Cable swap like crazy, swap ports on the hub like crazy,
do what the guy above told you. Reset the hub, run /etc/rc.netstar and ping bidirectionally.
I dont think you have a firewall setup on this box so thats all Ill mention about it. If your pcs assuming they are windows have any firewall programs like Z(b)one Alarm disable or get rid of them.
Assuming you are on the same subnet. I all else fails, get another hub, it may be screwy somewhere.
good luck ...
