Hi,

after "route add default GATEWAY_IP", i could see
defaultrouter="GATEWAY_IP" in  /etc/rc.conf.

i could ping the gateway but no other ip.

I tried using /usr/local/bin/links with some URL, i got a message
looking up hostname but after some time got a "Request TimeOut".

ifconfig -a shows up the following:
================================================

netstat -rn lists the default route appropriately for IPv4 but dont
see any corresponding entry in the IPv6 route listing.

Would like to mention that i have to go through a authentication
process wherein i provide my username and password when i connect via
windows.

Also, i have been given two domain name server IPs (use both in
windows) but i could use just one while configuring the interface with
sysinstall utility in FreeBSD. In windows i can ping just one of the
domain name server IPs and i'm using that very one in FreeBSD.

Please see if something is missing.

Regards,
Premal.
