* Julian Randall <unixmonk@iinet.net.au> [2002-08-31 16:00]: > I am using the onboard sis 900 network card in FreeBSD with dhclient. Everytime I run dhclient it gets all of the network details such as my ip and my gateway ip but then reports the error "no route to host". I can't access the Internet at all and it repeats that error every minute or so. > PS > The nic works fine in Windows XP Pro Note: please cut your lines at around 70 chars or so. Unless the DHCP server is grossly misconfigured, you should also get a gateway that works on your local subnet. What do 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig' say? You should be able to tell if you are receiving a correct default route from your DHCP server from this info. Is there any other text mentioned on the line with "no route to host"- such as a name or IP address. Also, what does your DHCP server return for DNS addresses- they should be listed in /etc/resolv.conf. You should have a route to your DNS servers (local route or default route).
