lan problem

Fri Jun 6 19:05:20 PDT 2003

I tried changing the nic card to a reltek card that made by D-Link and the problem still exists.   What could I be doing wrong  ifconfig 
rl0: flags=8802<Broadcast, simplex, multicast> mtu 1500
ether 00:05:5d:2f:b8:6d
media: ethernet autoselect(10baseT/UTP)
status: active

rc.conf
hostname="tweaxordef.net"
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
named_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"

resolv.conf
nameserver="151.164.1.8"
nameserver="206.13.28.12"

I tried changing the cables too with a new one, which didn't seem to help what could I be doing wrong.

I would double-check the link-layer stuff. Try a different
patch cable, different port on the hub, different NIC. sounds
like you don't have any connectivity.
