Thank you. > > -- > Regards, > > Manish Jain Hi, By the looks of it you changed the IP but forgot to add the default route. http://handbook.bsdjunk.com/network-routing.html When using a static IP you're required to add in a infconfig_nic0="" and defaultroute="" or else it has no where to route the packets. once you do that you can test using service netif restart && service routing restart Chris
