For #2 (maybe a long shot): Just recently I needed to change on the fly the IP address of one machine, and after a /etc/rc.d/netif restart, I lost Internet connectivity. Access to the local network was normal. This machine is behind an ADSL router (IP 192.168.0.250) which acts as the gateway. The problem was, after the IP address change the default gateway was lost. defaultrouter was present in rc.conf but was not applied again after the netif restart. A quick route add default 192.168.0.250 fixed it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IIRC a /etc/rc.d/netif stop/start will recreate the default route.

To clarify: I have several commonly-used network configs in my /etc/rc.config file, and often change which one I have commented out there, then restart with: # /etc/rc.d/netif restart With the revelation that /etc/rc.d/routing needs a restart, I think that probably solves the problem. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr(Just another Perl hacker, 0, -2); ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
