(192.168.1.1) at (incomplete) on dc0 [ethernet] # ifconfig -a dc0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8 ether 00:14:cf:52:b4:17 inet 192.168.1.33 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ping 192.168.1.1 and traceroute 192.168.1.1 give "Network is unreachable" I even connected directly to the cable modem as it was before I bought the router and... surprise: it works! Put the router back and BSD stops working again. I'm writing this post from Linux, so this one works. The /etc/hosts and /etc/dhclient.conf are the original ones, coming from BSD install, untouched.
