Quoting Bhuvaneswari's output of "ifconfig -a" and "netstat -nr":

#ifconfig -a

em0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80 :: 1% lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3

If you notice in the above there is already a lo0 interface, it is just tha=
t=20
he missed a newline between plip0 and lo0 interface lines. So it seems you=

missed the lo0 interface :) .

So all he has to do is just assign some inet address to 'em0' interface, an=
d=20
ping other nodes in his LAN :) . And then when done testing IP network in=20
LAN, he can add a default route and try connecting to other hosts in the=20
internet.
