How is yours set up? The relevant sections from my 2.1.5 /etc/sysconfig. You probably need to edit the sections with *********'s. ######################### Start Of Netconfig Section ####################### # Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important! hostname=gdi.uoregon.edu # Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if none defaultdomainname=NO # # Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644 # TCP options. If TCP connections randomly hang, try disabling this, # and bug the vendor of the losing equipment. # tcp_extensions=YES # If you're running PCNFSD or anything else which requires mountd to allow # non-root requests for NFS mounts, set this to YES. weak_mountd_authentication=YES # # Set to the list of network devices on this host. You must have an # ifconfig_${network_interface} line for each interface listed here. # for example: # # network_interfaces="ed0 sl0 lo0" # # ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00" # ifconfig_sl0="inet 10.0.1.0 netmask 0xffffff00" # ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" # # ********* do your network device config here! (uncomment first) #network_interfaces="lo0 ed0" #ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" #ifconfig_ed0="inet 128.223.186.250 netmask 255.255.254.0" #No-network config # network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" # # Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a # route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here (unless # static_routes is set to "" - do NOT use ``NO'' to denote a lack of static # routes!). # #static_routes="foo multicast" #route_foo="woofo woofo-gw" #route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0..0.1" #static_routes="multicast loopback" #route_loopback="gdi localhost" #route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface gdi" static_routes="loopback" route_loopback="gdi localhost" # Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none. # This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes. # ******** set this to your gateway. #defaultrouter=128.223.170.1 defaultrouter=NO # This is the routing daemon you want to use. Possible options are # currently NO (for none), `routed' and `gated'. Also see `routerflags' # for startup flags. router=NO All you really need is the default route and everything else will be handled. BSD doesn't really make use of the /etc/networks or associated files. Or at least I don't.
