I think it's probably something straightforward that I'm missing but I'm out of ideas. I have a laptop that I can connect on one network without a problem so I think the ethernet card is setup okay. I can't seem to get it working on the other network (which is of course the one I really want :) I hope someone can help me out. I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.5 with PAO installed. ep0 driver for a 3COM589D On both networks everything seems to boot okay but on the 172 I always get 'host is down' when I try to ping from my box. I also can't ping my box from others on the 172. Here's part of my rc.conf, netstat -rn, ifconfig ep0 for the one that WORKS: RC.CONF ############################################################## ### Important initial Boot-time options ##################### ############################################################## swapfile="NO" # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired. apm_enable="YES" # Set to YES if you want APM enabled. pccard_enable="YES" # Set to YES if you want to configure PCCARD devices. pccard_mem="DEFAULT" # If pccard_enable=YES, this is card memory address. pccard_beep="2" # 0:silent, 1:simple beep, 2: melody pccard_ifconfig="NO" # Specialized pccard ethernet configuration (or NO). #pccardd=/stand/pccardd # Absolute pathname of pccard daemon #pccardc=/stand/pccardc # Absolute pathname of pccard control utility local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d" # startup script dirs. ############################################################## ### Network configuration sub-section ###################### ############################################################## ### Basic network options: ### hostname="myname.my.domain" # Set this!

I tried playing with the "gateway-enable" option because I believe the 172 network doesn't have a 'proper gateway'. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
