Hi All I am trying to connect my Freebsd3.3 machine to the internet via athome cable modem. My kernal is a generic one and I am using an Intel Pro10/100B Ethernet card. The card is detected as fxp0. So, I went to the /stand/sysinstall and put all the information in. Then reboot the machine and login in again as root. I try to ping athome's gateway machine. I can't.... I issue the following command: ifconfig fxp0 my_machine_assigned_ip ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 route add -net my_machine_assigned_ip athome_gateway_ip I was able to ping athome's gateway machine and their DNS server. I tried to ping a machine outside athome domain. I can get the machine's IP address right. But no package was acknowledged. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Or have simular experience to share? Do I need rebuild the kernal? (I was hoping to test everything out before build my own kernal). Did I miss any thing?
