[CS-FSLUG] Networking details #3 -- partly working

[Ed Hurst]

I can now ping the XP machine from mine. The issue was a BIOS option,
which prevented proper assignment of the MAC address.

However, I cannot get the XP machine to resolved DNS. Here's what
tcpdump looks like watching on the ethernet interface:

12:48:50.856985 arp who-has thud.local.bsd tell churchmouse.local.bsd
12:48:50.857052 arp reply thud.local.bsd is-at 00:a0:c9:f2:fe:d6
12:48:50.857304 IP churchmouse.local.bsd.1027 > 65.90.176.11.domain:
26+ A? www.eunet.bg. (30)
12:48:51.842884 IP churchmouse.local.bsd.1027 > 208.23.212.253.domain:

12:48:54.843308 IP churchmouse.local.bsd.1027 > 208.23.212.253.domain:

12:48:58.843547 IP churchmouse.local.bsd.1027 > 65.90.176.11.domain:

12:48:58.843705 IP churchmouse.local.bsd.1027 > 208.23.212.253.domain:

I have told XP to use 65.90.176.11 and 208.23.212.253 specifically. The
query isn't getting back in, so perhaps it's a firewall issue. That
means digging around in FreeBSD documentation for IPFW.
