Have you checked the physical connection of the NIC to the hub... link lights on both sides??? Can you ping your own IP address? If you hook another machine to the cable in the new room, do you experience the same problems??? -jess On Aug 14, Douglas Setzer <DSetzer@yorkcity.org> wrote: > Here is the deal- > This the second time this has happened, so maybe you guys can help so I don't have to do a reinstall again. > > We moved the physical location of our FreeBSD machine from one room to another, in doing so, we ended up booting the FreeBSD machine while it was not connected to the network. We hooked a cable into it after it was booted (sitting at a login prompt)- I logged in as root and shut it down- we restarted the computer and now it will not ping the network- not it's gateway, and definately nothing outside. > > I've tried using the /stand/sysinstall to reset the IP address and double-checked the gateway, but, I haven't had any luck doing anything at all.
