I struggled a bit with my PCMCIA network card (LinkSys EtherFast PCMPC100 10/100), but seem to have it up and configured now. I can ping all hosts on my local network segment including my default gateway, but I can't ping any outside hosts including my DNS server. All other hosts on the same network segement are communicating fine. I've got my default gateway entry specified appropriately in my rc.conf file and I'm at a bit of a loss for what to try next. Some interesting stuff that I think might be related: When I issue a "netstat -r" command, it prints out the column headers for the routing table and then just hangs. If I issue a "route delete default" command and then the netstat command it prints out the routing table correctly. If I reassign the default gateway entry with a "route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" command, netstat hangs again. Any ideas?
