You're missing routes here. In your rc.conf your hostname is incomplete, you need something like 'nathaniel.example.com'. Remove or comment the loopback entry, it's not necessary. Remove or comment the interface entry, it's wrong (missing "") and not necessary. You could add the following line: defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" with the correct IP address of course. All in all: 1 cvsup your sources, do a correct update (mergemaster!) so you have all the necessary users and groups 2 correct your rc.conf hth lars.
