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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
