However, I have no problem pinging it from the host itself, but it's gone to anyone on the outside. A "ifconfig rl0 DOWN ; ifconfig rl0 UP" usually solves the problem until it happens next time - which can be minutes, hours, days or weeks later. I suppose in average I have it happening two to three times per month. On another machine with the same FreeBSD version I do not have the same problem, but the hardware is entirely different. Only the NIC driver used is the same. /Eirik On Tue, 2003-06-10 at 12:42, Greg Panula wrote: > Edoardo Causarano wrote: > > > > su-2.05a# ping 192.168.1.1 > > PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes > > ping: sendto: No route to host > > ping: sendto: No route to host > > ^C > > --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- > > 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet > > > > rl1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 > > inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 > > inet6 fe80::2c0:26ff:fea3:4f97%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 > > ether 00:c0:26:a3:4f:97 > > media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) > > status: active > > > > I can't ping my own interfaces (there's alsto an external one) and even > > postfix can't find a route to hit itself on the external iface.
