I think you need to turn off dhclient in /etc/rc.conf - or don't turn it on. Also, make sure your resolv.conf is correct and the default router is correctly set in /etc/rc.conf to your gateway address. It looks like your ifconfig might be correct, but either or both of resolv.conf or default router is wrong or dhclient is running and clobbering them. ////jerry > > br - N > > _______________________________________________ > 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"
