Re: strange installation issue

[Anthony DeRobertis]

First thing to try: ethereal, tcpdump, whatever you like. Look at 
what's actually happening on layer 2. Are packets being sent? To the 
right MAC address?

If no packets are being sent, then it is a Linux problem.
If packets are being sent to the right MAC, but no echo-replies are 
being sent, then it is an OpenBSD problem.
And so on.

Second, make sure there is no firewall on the OpenBSD box.
Third question, why aren't you using stateless autoconf? ;-)
