I have a similar setup using a pair of rl devices with DHCP configuration on rl0. I found that the media type wasn't being determined for the rl0 interface and I solved the problem by adding a file /etc/start_if.rl0 with the following: ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP This was for a twisted-pair connection to a cable modem. In your case you probably need: ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX If this doesn't help, check the connectivity between the NIC and modem. The cable type (crossover or not) etc. Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc. -- 1024D/531F9048 1999-09-11 Neil Darlow GPG Fingerprint = 359D B8FF 6273 6C32 BEAA 43F9 E579 E24A 531F 9048 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
