Hello, First of all, please do not ask questions on freebsd-doc mailing list. Instead use freebsd-questions@freebsd.org for that. About your problem: your ISP or whoever is your internet uplink might be blocking incoming and outgoing ICMP packets which are needed for ping. If you can ping to the router, but can't ping past it, blocking of ICMP is most likely what is going on (unless you also can't get to the machines in the world with other means such as ftp, http). -- Yan Jan Koum jkb@best.com | "Turn up the lights; I don't want www.FreeBSD.org -- The Power to Serve | to go home in the dark."
