I can >give more details if necessary.. Sorry i don't know the official definition for "unknown socket", but here's some stuff you want to check first: 1. Your vx0 interface is brought "up" properly and has the correct IP assigned to it (in rc.conf). If your ISP uses DHCP, you'll need to get the WIDE-DHCP or ISC DHCP clients. 2. You have a default route set (in rc.conf). 3. Your DNS servers are set properly (in resolv.conf). >Also, is ther a reason why the vx0 driver for the 3com card is not >specified in the kernel install section. I am searching for a description >to place in the custom kernel They're probably too busy working on other stuff, and people find out one way or another that vx0 can also be the 3c900 or 3c905, so they don't complain. --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
