> Hello FreeBSD Team.
> My name is Christian and I have a problem.
> I looked through the FAQ and the docs about the prob. when you get the No
route to host reply when trying to ping. But my nic is intact. I made some
Kernel configurations cause I want this one PC act as a router. So I thought
something with all the stuff I changed is wrong. So I # everything out in
the rc.conf that might cause the problem. Even though, what I as a beginner
don?t like is that there are so many examples out there about how to config
your system to act as a router. Is there no main script that includes it
all? Well so much for that one.

can you post your /etc/rc.conf?
are you using NAT at all?
have you entered the dns in /etc/resolv.conf?
is the problem solely with your freebsd machine, i mean, am i to understand
that you get a connection but you can't browse to anything or ping to
anything ONLY on the freebsd box? that is all usually a strong hint that you
haven't entered your ISP's DNS information.

think of what is required for windows to get online via dial up or anything
else. if you've done everything for freebsd that you would have done for
windoze then you should be okay. it's basic troubleshooting.
