Awright, i know this ought to be simple to do and it is starting to drive me nuts. I have searched the web and the archives, and can't find anything I think is the answer. please help.... Have a new FreeBSD system stood up at work, it will be a file server, i.e. intend to run samba and nfs mounts from other *nix systems. New 4.4 out of the box. All hardware is new also. I can't ping other than localhost. I have a DHCP server set up and it works on other machines. I will be happy for the short term if i can just ping my dhcp server. right now 'ping 192.168.1.1' returns a '..no route to host...' error. the nic was in when i installed the operating system. How do I tell if the Linksys LNE100TX is working and has the correct drivers installed? I have searched all over the net and found that I need (?) a "pn0" device, but then other sites indicate that this nic is supported by default. I am very confused on this point. The linksys website is for 3.x and their instructions included building a new kernel - is that still necessary? If not, what do i do? second, how do I tell if my dhcp client is correctly getting something from the dhcp server? at the command "dhclient" i get a somewhat unending stream of garbage, which would of course make sense if the nic is not set up correctly. ifconfig doesn't show me anything like an IP address i would be expecting. most of my exprience is with Red Hat linux. Am committed to sticking with FreeBSD, so I am willing to do whatever is necessary. Thanks for the help. lastly, maybe there is a nic that would be a better choice? matt stucky stuckym@prodigy.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
