Hi, let me think about this a bit but first, if you do 'sh /etc/netstart', does that give you back your connectivity? I'm not 100% sure because like I said I need to think about this some more, but if the connection between you and the ISP is lost, the ISP may require you to re-register your computer with their network/dhcp server. Let me know if netstart works and I'll think about it some more.

Hello, I don't know if it's OpenBSD related or not, but I will try: Sometimes, my ISP (Videotron) seems to have some problems with their DHCPD servers. In fact, whey the problem arise, I lost the connection to the internet. So, I stopped my dhcpcd client, and restarted it. After, when I try to ping www.google.com, it's does'nt work, but I can ping the next router, or gateway if you prefer (showed in netstat -nr. If my IP is x.x.x.234, the router is x.x.x.1 ). I tried several time to have the Internet by killing the dhcpcd client, without success. In fact, I can even ping others PC in the same local network of Videotron. So, I rebooted the openbsd server, and now, I can ping www.google.com (or other computer on the Internet). The strange thing is that I have the the _same_ ip adress and the _same_ router before the reboot.. It happened three time, and I don't really know why I must reboot... Note that I use modemcable with the modem Samsung. So why the reboot is needed to obtain the 'real' connection to the internet?
