Hello everyone, I am able to ping my loopback as well as my static IP address. but I am not able to ping any other system on the net, my ISP's DNS server nor the ISP's Default Gateway. I am able to ping my system by FQDN and just the host name from the FreeBSD box. Ping error for the DNS server ping is: ping: sendto: No route to host Ping to the ISP Default Gateway ping: sendto: Host is down However I am able to ping the above addresses (Including my FreeBSD server) from my XP box. Network setup. FreeBSD (Static Public IP) -> Linksys 5 port switch -> Switch -> DSL Modem XP box -> Linksys Router (Different Static public IP)-> Linksys 5 port switch. -> DSL Modem (All is working fine from here) This IP was purchased several months ago so it should be setup. Perhaps there is something wrong on their side. Is there a way I can prove it? Below is the information I have collected. I have listed in my rc.conf my ISP's Default Gateway, my IP, my subnet. My /etc/resolv.conf shows domain domain (there is no hostname on this line) nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver ************ (ISP DNS SERVER) nameserver ************(ISP SECONDARY DNS SERVER) I have checked the spelling and confirmed the IP's in the resolv.conf are correct. I didn't set it up but my /etc/hosts file has my loopback and FQDN listed twice. I have no idea why ::1 localhost.domain localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost.domain localhost MY IP FQDN hostname (there is no "." at the end of this FQDN I don't know if that matters) MY IP FQDN. (there is a "." at the end of this FQDN and no hostname listed) And that is all I know how to do so far. It looks right to me. Perhaps someone can see what I missed or did wrong. Sorry for covering up some of the info. I don't know who is out there. Do you think my DNS server is not really working and the system is simply looking up my addresses in my hosts file? Any help is welcome. I just tried to ping the External IP of the Linksys Router and was successfully. This is leading me to think it is something on my ISP. Does that sound right to anyone else? Thank you, Joshua Lewis
