That's odd. I went through the same procedure i went through last time, which was:
# kldload sis.ko # kldload if_sis.ko # ifconfig sis0 inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 # netstat -rn ( at that time, there was no default route) # /etc/netstart ( added default route as part of the script)
Now, I can ping off the local network by name, so evidently it's working. I have no idea why it wouldn't work before. More than likely in the fumbling in the dark attempt I was making, I managed to screw something up, go figure. Shutting down sis0, loading the modules for one of my wireless cards, and working through configuration also yields positive results.
I'm still going to give dhclient a shot. Planning on doing some travelling
in the near future, and most network access on the road is going to be DHCP,
I would imagine.
Fabian, Thanks for your suggestions, as well. I could ping by IP, just not off the local network. I thought that I had established a default route, I'm almost certain, but I guess I was wrong. All seems to be working now, though.
Thanks again, Josh

Only problem is, I can't reach anything off the local network. What am I missing? I know it's something that init calls at startup that reads resolv.conf, etc..., but I have yet to figure out what. I've been Googling for a while and reading man pages; rc, rc.conf, resolv.conf, init, etc..., and I'm stumped. If anyone could offer anything it would be much appreciated.
Probably a default route. Try "route add default _IP_of_your_router_" Or try running dhclient. Does that give you a working network config?
If you want to reconfigure your machine via a menu, run /stand/sysinstall, and you can see what changing the network config from there does to /etc/rc.conf.
