It'll probably look something like: ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.250.102 netmask 255.255.255.0" Is this an ISA card? If so, check the output of dmesg to see that the driver is looking at the correct I/O address (almost certainly the case) and IRQ (possibly not). Is this is a 10 Mb/s card with multiple physical interfaces (AUI, BNC or UTP)? If so, make sure that you have the right one selected. See ed(4) for further details. When reporting this kind of problem, it's a good idea to give the output of the ifconfig and netstat commands. For ifconfig, I'd expect to see something like this: ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.250.102 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255 inet6 fe80::280:c6ff:fef9:a6c8%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:80:c6:f9:a6:c8 media: autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX none How much you get depends on what kind of card this is. If it's a 10 Mb/s card, you won't have the last two lines. If this looks OK, take a look at the output of netstat -r: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default ?
