Close to 100 environment vars are missing and if I jam them all into rc.conf it will be a mess, especially since I would be guessing at the appropriate values for the vars. My next step is to start from scratch (as Albi suggested.) Unfortuntely, even with ipfw set to open, I am still getting no route to host when I try and ping my gateway. It was always pingable in the past, and I've checked the cable into my new-ish switch and all seems fine, with green lights. The result of a route -n is in another virtual terminal and I can't copy and paste, but it lists the headers and then nothing for the details, i.e. no routes are in the routing table at all. Further suggestions welcome, and thanks for your help so far.
