Hello, My computer is not connecting to the local network with the following configuration: dmesg.boot contains the following lines: ----------------------------------------- vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> port 0xec00-0xec7f mem 0xfeafbc00-0xfeafbc7f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci2 vr0: Ethernet address: 00:40:05:a5:00:04 miibus0: <MII bus> on vr0 amphy0: <Am79C873 10/100 media interface> on miibus0 amphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto ifconfig -a reports the following after booting up: ----------------------------------------- vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.80.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.80.255 ether 00:40:05:a5:00:04 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Routing tables as reported by netstat -r: ----------------------------------------- Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.80.100 UGSc 0 0 vr0 localhost localhost UH 0 72 lo0 192.168.80 link#1 UC 1 0 vr0 192.168.80.100 link#1 UHLW 1 0 vr0 /etc/rc.conf contains the following lines, among others: ----------------------------------------- hostname="blah.server.net" tcp_extensions="NO" log_in_vain="NO" tcp_keepalive="NO" network_interfaces="auto" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_vr0="inet 192.168.80.222 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.80.100" gateway_enable="NO" I also tried adding " media auto" in the ifconfig_vr0 above, but it didn't help. Same scenario. There's no problem in the cables as I use this same port in a Windows 2000 workstation. What am I missing? TIA, /Noor
