I tried everything you guys told me and it still doesn't work : - tried to set a static address as Derek indicated - commented out the ipv6 line in rc.conf, even if it was already set to "NO" - the answer to Kevin's questions follow: # ping -I dc0 192.168.1.1 ping: invalid multicast interface: `dc0' # arp -a ? (192.168.1.1) at (incomplete) on dc0 [ethernet] # ifconfig -a dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 00:14:cf:52:b4:17 inet 192.168.1.33 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ping 192.168.1.1 and traceroute 192.168.1.1 give "Network is unreachable" I even connected directly to the cable modem as it was before I bought the router and... surprise: it works! Put the router back and BSD stops working again. I'm writing this post from Linux, so this one works. The /etc/hosts and /etc/dhclient.conf are the original ones, coming from BSD install, untouched. What else can I do ? Eugen On Feb 6, 2008 8:36 AM, Derek Ragona <derek@computinginnovations.com> wrote: > > > At 07:40 AM 2/6/2008, Eugen wrote: > > Thanks for all your input.
