Whenever the linux router restarts my machine loses it. Even when the router comes back up I can't ping the router. netstat doesn't really reveal anything. arp knows about the router although sometimes it says that the router's hardware address is (incomplete). Is this normal behavior for a FreeBSD machine. Is it so dependent on network that even icmp doesn't work anymore if the router goes away? John please cc me.
