This box has a Realtek RTL 8139/8139C/8139C+ (according to lspci) nic. On the linux kernel and obv windows, i have no problem, but when i pop in the freebsd install disc and start the install process the nic indicator on my router goes from green to orange. I can ping the box and ping from the box around my lan but when i try and ping the outside world, i get nothing. I've searched around on google but i cant find that much information regarding freebsd and this nic. i did read it was supported but i cant seem to get it to work. If im best off buying a new card then ill do that but id rather not have to. Thanks for any replies ps this maybe not the best place to post this but i thought it was worth a try -- *-----------------------------------------------------* | Glyn Tebbutt | d3c3it-linux@ntlworld.com | |--------------' http://homepage.ntlworld.com/d3c3it | | Lisa, if you dont like your job you dont strike, | | You just go in everyday and do it really half-assed | | Thats the American way. -Homer Simpson | *-----------------------------------------------------*
