Can you ping your DNS servers from the BSD box? Can you ping any other IP
address out on the Internet? It may be a route issue.

Subject: Strange network connectivity problem
I have a router between internet and two machines, one IIS and one FBSD.
Saturday we
had to power down everything for the PUD to shutdown our power for the day
to
hook up
the new building next door. Sunday I powered up everything and all appeared
to
be fine. I
even downloaded FBSD4.3 on the BSD box. Today, Monday, I am not able to
connect
to any address outside the router, from the BSD box only. The IIS machine
has no
problem.
I can ping any ip address inside the network, all 3 addresses on the router,
but
nothing outside
the router. I have samba, apache and telnet running on the BSD box, yet they
will not respond
from to requests from inside the network. Top shows all three are indeed
running. I rebooted
the BSD box, and sendmail hung on loading, it eventually allowed the boot to
finish, but it also
does not respond to a request to send a message. On the BSD box I can ping
the
inside
network by ip address, not name. This leads me to think it is a DNS problem,
yet
the IIS box
points to the same DNS and has no problem with this. I checked resolv.conf
and
rc.conf,
they have the same settings as the IIS box.
I am at a loss as to what to check next. I don't understand why whatever is
preventing the access
to the outside world is also preventing access to apache and samba shares
from
inside the network.
Let me know what specific bits of info are needed to try to troubleshoot
this.
