X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2008 14:58:23 -0000 Hi, After installing FreeBSD 7.1 RC1 from the DVD-image I found that the PC in question has no LAN connectivity upon reboot. The PC has an Intel GE builtin NIC showing up as "Intel PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.6" in dmesg. For the problem: Though IP-Adress, default-GW etc. are correctly set the box can't e.g. ping anything on the net; neither on the local lan nor across the default-gw. Same the other way round: machine can't be ping-ed, not even from the local subnet. What's interesting though is that on both the LAN-Switch and the PC ("ifconfig") the interface shows up as connected. Even more interesting: the MAC-address of the PC-nic shows up on the corresponding LAN-Switch. So there definitely is "some form of connectivity". When starting a "tcpdump" there's no output - so obviously nothing is coming into the machine form the network. To cross-check I've a) swapped the patch-cable for another one - no change b) tried Ubuntu (Linux) from the Live-CD - under Ubuntu I've got full LAN-connectivity without any problems so it must be something FreeBSD related... Has anybody out there had problems with an Intel GE-Nic ("em0") under 7.1? Thanks in advance for any clue, -ewald
