what do you get when you do an ipconfig -a ? That would help us in diagnosing the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Mirchandani [mailto:chromus_@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 2:01 PM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org Subject: Problem with router First of all, sorry about sending my subscribtion request on the list, I didn't read the handbook to that point. Now, to the problem. I'm not very experienced with FreeBSD but heard that it was a great OS to run a server on. I downloaded the .iso, burned the CD, and installed it on a computer. Now, I am connecting this computer to a Netgear router so that the cable connection I am using can be shared by the server and other computers here. The problem seems to be that FreeBSD isn't communicating with the router. It won't assign FreeBSD an IP address and I can't ping the router from FreeBSD. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am sure about the hardware working.
