Hi,
I am using a dual-boot machine Windows XP SP3 and FreeBSD 10.2 amd64,
using a Wi-Fi modem connected to the PC with a LAN cable. Till a couple
of days back, the systems had no issue connecting to internet and the
world seemed rosy. All of a sudden, yesterday disaster struck and
neither was able open up any site in the web browser.
Help from the service provider got the Windows system working again. I
enabled Internet Connection Sharing and replaced DHCP with 192.168.10.3
for the PC and 192.168.10.1 for the Wi-Fi modem (default_router). While
the Windows connects to the internet now, the FreeBSD box remains stuck
with roughly those same settings.
ifconfig re0 :
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
ether 50:46:5d:66:fd:10
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
pinging 192.168.1.1 produces 'no route to host' and 100.0% packet loss.
At boot-time, the system seems to attempt getting a DHCP lease multiple
times without success.
cat /etc/resolv.conf :
nameserver 192.168.1.1
cat /etc/rc.conf :
hostname="freebsd10dot2.amd64.local"
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
sshd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
keyrate="fast"
apcupsd_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
mysql_enable="YES"
fusefs_enable="YES"
atapicam_load="YES"
cupsd_enable="NO"
Can someone please point me to what might be the error/changes needed
for my FreeBSD box to connect to internet again ? Thank you.
