All,

Not long ago I posted an 'ignorant networking Q' to the list, because I
was having some trouble getting my laptop to do anything network-y ...
as it turns out, the base problem was a faulty dongle. Everything works
great now -- from the Slackware Linux side of the laptop.

I'm running into difficulties over on the FreeBSD side of things, and
suspect I may just have to re-install. I'd prefer to tweak, however, and
try to gain some decent understanding of networking stuff.

So. During bootup I see the following:

route: writing to routing socket: network is unreachable
add net default: gateway 66.92.99.1: network is unreachable

Poking around revealed what I believe to be at least part of the
problem: the routing table is pretty much empty, with the exception of
the loopback value 127.0.0.1. I mean, that would pretty much prevent anything
'getting out,' am I right? 

Problem is, when I try to add a value to the table, using the 'route add ...' 
command, I get the same "network is unreachable" messages that I got 
during bootup.

How, then, does one populate the routing table?

Thanks,

Glenn
