I installed FreeBSD release 2.2.2 but for some reason I cannot get connected to the network. This is my first FreeBSD installation so I would really appreciate some help. Situation. I can ping the ip address of the FreeBSD machine but nothing outside. Information. During the bootup it recognizes the IntelEtherexpress card without a problem with the exact setting I gave the card. I do the following # ifconfig ex0 198.213.144.9 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 198.213.144.255 I load the ex0 interface and the ifconfig exwill say it's up and running # netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: default 198.213.144.2 UGSc ex0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0 198.213.144 link#2 UC 198.213.144.2 link#2 UHLW 198.213.144.5 link#2 UHLW 198.213.144.9 0:aa:0:c2:d2:11 UHLW lo0 I don't believe I need line 3-6, but they should not make a difference to get to the internet (I believe) Some additional info gateway=198.213.144.2 dns server=198.213.144.5 FreeBSD machine=198.213.144.9 Customized the kernel, everything works fine and have same problem if I use generic, so I don't think kernel is the problem. Thank you very much for your input, this is very important to me. Like to set up machine as dns server and webserver. Like to get to know FreeBSD better. Currently running DNS on winNT (very bad performance) Alain ------------------------------------------------------------ Alain Fabry Senior LAN Admin The University of Texas - Pan American (COSERVE) 1201 W.
