All other computers on the network are able to ping out to the internet just fine, ,just the one 4.6 box cannot. >>from any box I try to ping the 4.6 box, and the ping just times out.

It's not getting a connection to the network. Oddly, the dhcp server did assign it an address and show the box on the dhcp addresses list, once. For some reason the dhcp list of devices it has assigned addresses to drops the two fbsd boxes at random. But that's another problem I'm not too concerned with right now. I just need to 4.6 box to show a connection to the network. I'll change out the nic tomorrow and see if that makes any differance. -- Chip > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >. > > >
