hello,
i hope this is the right forum for this quesion...
i am setting up a freebsd system and have been unable to connect to any
network.
i have a system with 2 nic cards, xl0 and vr0. My cable modem is connected
to xl0 and hub and windows pc's will be connected to vr0. i've disregarded
vr0 as i hope to install the dhcp server to connect through this nic, once
i have a network connection.
xl0 has been configured using DHCP.
my /etc/rc.config has the following line from /stand/sysinstall:
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP"
/etc/dhclient.conf is empty.
but no "send host-name "your-host-name" line: (if i need a hostname - i'm
not clear on what that should be? i have used my domain name
www.justken.net but this should be served through this gateway!)
and /var/db/dhclient.leases looks like this: (times 4)
lease {
interface "xl0";
fixed-address 192.168.241.30;
filename "docsis.cfg";
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option time-offset -14400;
option routers 192.168.241.1;
option dhcp-lease-time 600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option domain-name-servers 24.222.0.13;
option domain-name-servers 24.222.0.33;
option broadcast-address 192.168.241.255;
renew 6 2002/8/31 22:38:07;
renew 6 2002/8/31 22:42:58;
renew 6 2002/8/31 22:44:13;
}
FYI: looking at the ipconfig in win2k the dns info comes back as:
24.222.0.75 and 24.138.0.7
with this i cannot ping or traceroute to anything but localhost. localhost
resolves correctly.
when i ping i get the following results:
# ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (216.239.51.101): 56 data bytes
^C
--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
38 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
traceroute provides the following:
#traceroute www.google.com
traceroute to www.google.com (216.239.51.101), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

some final diagnostics that may help someone who knows what they are doing:
#netstat -rn
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 192.168.241.1 UGSc 2 0 xl0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0
192.168.241 link#2 UC 1 0 xl0
192.168.241.1 00:02:fc:83:84:85 UHLW 3 0 xl0 1015
192.168.241.30 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 lo0
looks to me that all outbound calls are being routed to localhost? why am i
getting 4 hops in my traceroute? and the man page and unix reference i'm
using said that i man not expect the results i get... anyone?
ifconfig: (xl0 results only)
xl0: flags=9943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
option=3<rxcsum,txcsum>

ether 00:10:4b:8f:f9:12
media: Ethernet autoselect (10bastT/UTP)
status:active
It seems to be that i've got a lease, but i can't seem to get past the
gateway router at the isp. DNS is working as expected, but my packets
arn't getting to their destination... i'm not a net guru yet... but ive
tried to read all man pages, and follow the setup's - i had this system
working with the @home before installing the second nic, and trying to
configure as a router. If this helps - i did a reinstall from cd, installed
the second nic card - turns out it was defective - and replaced it with
this one. I have tried connecting to the host isp with both nic's and have
not gotten past this point.
hope someone can help me out! would be greatly appreciated.
