I tried everything you guys told me and it still doesn't work :
- tried to set a static address as Derek indicated
- commented out the ipv6 line in rc.conf, even if it was already set to "NO"
- the answer to Kevin's questions follow:
# ping -I dc0 192.168.1.1
ping: invalid multicast interface: `dc0'
# arp -a
? (192.168.1.1) at (incomplete) on dc0 [ethernet]
# ifconfig -a
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:14:cf:52:b4:17
inet 192.168.1.33 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ping 192.168.1.1 and traceroute 192.168.1.1 give "Network is unreachable"
I even connected directly to the cable modem as it was before I bought the
router and... surprise: it works! Put the router back and BSD stops working
again. I'm writing this post from Linux, so this one works.
The /etc/hosts and /etc/dhclient.conf are the original ones, coming from BSD
install, untouched.
What else can I do ?
