I don't know!!! Why don't you tell us what you've done??? What we need here are the output of the following commands: # netstat -rn # ifconfig -a If you don't know how to include this output in a mail message, check out http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. In this output, make sure that interface lo0 is configured, up and running, and has the IP address 127.0.0.1. Otherwise that could be the problem. > I need to be able to telnet to my site from work, but I can't > even PING myself.... I'm hoping this doesn't require a static IP with > FreeBSD...
