Everything looks fine up to this point, so the problem you describe (not being able to ping anything aside from itself). So, first reply back with the defaultrouter line in rc.conf so we can ensure it's accurate. Second (relevant to the question below, paste us the output from: # netstat -rn One more thing...is this a clean install? Have you built yourself a new kernel adding any extra options? (ie IPFW)..and are you absolutely sure that the upstream gateway is indeed 192.168.1.1 (ie: can you ping it from a different workstation? Regards, Steve
