Um, did you ifconfig lo0 (loopback) before any of the slattach/ifconfig
sl0 commands? It's nice that both machines know how to reach the other
one, but as routing isn't setup properly here, pinging your own sl0 can't
work.

Try: route add 192.168.1.2 127.0.0.1. Do the same on the PC (with the .1,
of course)
