Minix3 and Bochs2.6.6 networking

[wzh823]

Hello,
Today, I try to install the Minix3.1.1 and Minix3.1.2 on the
Bochs2.2.6, my host OS is win2k. My local network isn't used,
so I use the network depand on the VMWare' virtual netcard.
Before, I config the minix2.0.4 and make it run correctly, it
can use network, can ping host OS, can ftp or telnet to host OS,
can be pinged from the host OS. Then I config the Minix3.1.1 and
Minix3.1.2 , write the /etc/rc.net ,edit /usr/etc/rc,
/usr/etc/rc.local. When rebooting , Minix display messages show
it can find the netcard, login in with root, can ping itself,
but crashed when ping from host OS . Reboot it, when login in,
wait a moment( few seconds), minix no respond yet.
I config the minix run on the VMWare correctly.
Is't bug? Bochs or Minix ?

You've probably advanced further than I am with networking for Minix
3.1.1 under Bochs 2.6.6. I couldn't get ftp server accessible from the
host machine.

I'm glad to see that someone repost and I will tell you
my config Minix3.1.1 on Bochs2.6.6 under win2k host OS:

1.setup Bochs2.6.6 correctly with default.
2.run the niclist.exe (in the Bochs installed directory)
you can see the list of nic of you system. note, the
niclist.exe 's Example config is right not always. please
select one nic adapter "ethdev". Write this to the bochsrc
config file.
3.Load the minix3.1.1 iso file ,install, select ne2000 netcard
4.Edit the /etc/usr/rc.local ,note the "port address","irq".
(there can use the niclist.exe again).
5.In you host OS, share the link that you want to use minix3
access.
6.Edit /etc/rc.net ,use "ifconfig" to specify the Ip address
of minix3.

I'm using the VMware's virtual netcard, it working correctly.
