Coming from the Linux world I'm having hell of a time
trying to configure network. If you could put me on the right
track, I'll be forever grateful.
Here is the situation:
* I installed OS without problems;
* Ethernet card is Kingston (de0);
* My provider gives out pretty long leases (>1 week), and since another
box is running Win95 and Linux, I can always find current IP, switch cable
and use it as a static IP;
* I tried to configure network this way, without any luck (relevant
parts of rc.config are enclosed below);
* I installed dhcp2 and was able to use it ONCE (for a day). After that
I can't start it ever again;
* Connection itself is fine, I can test it using another box;
* During boot, after the card is found and correctly identified, I see
the following messages:
writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net default: gateway 208.226.154.1 is unreachable
The IP 208.226.154.1 does belong to gateway.
But I was able to run dhcp for a day with these same messages!
* while computer works, periodically I get messages like the one below:
May 12 17:43:34 lcl39 /kernel: de0: receive 00:aa:09:d6:ab: bad crc
lcl39 is name of the machine.
What is "bad crc?"
* I can ping 127.0.0.1, after I manually add route to IP, I can
ping my IP. I CANNOT ping "localhost"
Below are relevant files/outputs. PLEASE, if you have any idea what
is going on with either/or ststic IP network or dhcp, enlighten me.
Thanks,
A.Heiphetz
