If it says no route to host, you need to setup a default route, but I doubt this is the issue. >=20 > i've quarduple checked that the NIC is assigned an address=20 > with the same subnet as my network. i can ping the ip=20 > address on the NIC, but i can't ping any other device on the network.

It is hard to say without more details. >=20 > i had firewall options in my rc.conf, but they are all=20 > commented out (quadruple checked that too). That could be an issue.

If you get an error msg of permission denied, this is generally what is going on. >=20 > any ideas on how i can resolve this matter? >=20
