I seriously doubt this your problem, BTW, what is the output of the "netstat -rn"? the command "route flush" should delete any routes. check the rc.conf (or /etc/defaults/rc.conf) to see if the firewall option was enabled. sounds to me that the firewall could be enabled and like everything is set for denied access. if you compile the kernel with the Berkeley Packet Filter option, try running tcpdump(8) on the ethernet and loopback interfaces and see what is being reported. if the firewall option is running, you will not see any output. the command "netstat -i" will give you octet counts, if you are pinging the loopback, the output count on lo0 should be increasing (again if the firewall code is not activated and denying transmission). --mark tinguely.
