It could not find the default gateway in the routing table and was unable to talk to machines not on the local network. I have the feeling this is not a hardware error but rather a problem in your interface's settings or routing table. The first error could be a complaint from the kernel that the machine with IP address 213.89.36.1 should be on the local network, but according to the interface's IP-address or netmask settings it isn't. So, as far as your kernel is concerned, the default gateway is not reachable, which causes error two. Do your ethernet settings match the values specified by your provider? Do these problems occur intermittently? Maybe your machine isn't able to get a DHCP lease now and then. If your provider gives you semi-static IP addresses with DHCP, try configuring the interface manually and see if it happens. </guess> Re-reading my message I see I haven't been of much help. Sorry for that. An output of "netstat -nr" and "ifconfig -a" would help the list in helping you out. walter -- I DON'T CARE WHERE, JUST FAR To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
