The rc.conf file is one of the few ones that shouldn't be in the scope of freebsd-update or mergemaster (if you update by source). > my rc.local now has > > route add default 66.xx.x.x > ifconfig em0 66.xx.x.x netmask 255.255.255.255 alias > If i take it off, system will not have any defaultroute > anymore although its in rc.conf > > defaultrouter="66.xx.x.x" > hostname="xxxxxx.com" > ifconfig_em0="inet 66.xx.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0" Your setting in rc.conf is spelled correctly (see above). Could you try what happens if you start the inet subsystem manually (/etc/rc.d/netif and /etc/rc.d/routing)? The last one reads defaultrouter="..." from rc.conf. As far as I see, the settings in rc.conf are completely valid, and should work. If this is still the "old" rc.conf (that worked before), the services activated in there should be started, too... You could additionally check /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts for any malformed entries. I think /etc/hosts could be altered / overwritten by freebsd-update? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
