It looks like no DHCP server is responding to it. Is there supposed to be a DHCP server listening to you? Do you usually use DHCP from that machine? or do you have to use a fixed address? or is this the first time you have tried to put this machine on the net? Anyway, if you have to enter your own info, you cannot both do that and have DHCP turned on. You have to DHCP setting off then enter your fixed IP address, your Default Name server, your default gateway and your netmask as given by your Internet provider. >From a quick glance, it looks like you are trying to use both DHCP and fixed IP addresses. In addition, it looks like the IPs you are trying to assign are private network IPs rather than public network addresses. You need to talk with whoever is providing you network service. Also, take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network http://www.duxcw.com/faq/network/privip.htm http://www.pku.edu.cn/academic/research/computer-center/tc/html/TC0305.html And probably some parts of the FreeBSD Handbook ////jerry > > ////jerry > > These are my infos. > > Windows IP Configuration > > Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : > sasdasda-164680 > Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : > Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown > IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No > WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No > DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : > gv.shawcable.net > > Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: > > Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : > gv.shawcable.net > Description . . . . . . . . . . . : CNet > PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Adap > ter > Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : > 00-80-AD-88-97-D8 > Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes > Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes > IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : > 192.168.0.102 > Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : > 255.255.255.0 > Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : > 192.168.0.1 > DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : > 192.168.0.1 > DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : > 192.168.0.1 > Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, > November 15, 2007 10:05:10 > PM > Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, > November 22, 2007 10:05:10 > PM > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Get easy, one-click access to your favorites. > Make Yahoo! your homepage. > http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
