Configuring jails

[Brandon helsley]

You said" If so then ping it. If that works then try to ping something
outside of your network. Try an IP address first and then try by name."

I found an ip address in ifconfig. Then I netstat -rn and ping default gateway
Ping gives me
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=71 ttl=64 time=2.628 ms

What is an ip address or name I can ping? What does this mean? Thanks.

You are jumping too far ahead.  While being able to update packages
would prove that networking was up, not working does not prove anything
except that something is not working.

Your first step is to run "ifconfig".  Make sure that you have an IP
address.  If you do then run "netstat -rn" to see if you have a default
route.  If so then ping it.  If that works then try to ping something
outside of your network.  Try an IP address first and then try by name.
 The next step would be to update packages but we already know that that
doesn't work.

If you do the above then report back here when you get to the step that
failed.  Then we can help you investigate that.
