It could be all kinds of things... I think we need some more information on what exactly isn't working: - Have you good a good physical connection between the FreeBSD box and the Linksys (ie, are the link lights at both ends on)? - Any error messages from dhclient when the machine boots? - Could you post the output of 'ifconfig' and 'netstat -rn' - Are other machines plugged into the Linksys working OK? - How (if at all) have you configured the Linksys? - Can you ping other machines on the local net by name? By IP address?
