On 06/17/2002 at 21:48:05, verizon.net said: > rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe3f:526d%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 > inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 > ether 00:50:bf:3f:52:6d > media: autoselect (none) status: no carrier > supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX This implies that rl0 isn't working or is misconfigured. I have a similar setup using a pair of rl devices with DHCP configuration on rl0. I found that the media type wasn't being determined for the rl0 interface and I solved the problem by adding a file /etc/start_if.rl0 with the following: ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP This was for a twisted-pair connection to a cable modem. In your case you probably need: ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX If this doesn't help, check the connectivity between the NIC and modem. The cable type (crossover or not) etc. Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc. -- 1024D/531F9048 1999-09-11 Neil Darlow <neil@darlow.co.uk> GPG Fingerprint = 359D B8FF 6273 6C32 BEAA 43F9 E579 E24A 531F 9048 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
