I have been trying for some time now to connect to the internet via a Ethernet cable at my university.
When I first installed I uses sysinstall(8) and configured my adapter through there. ifconfig(8) reports the rl0 is active and up. I could connect to the internet. Downloaded sudo and lynx. I then restarted and now I cannot connect to the internet. I seem to be able to get my configuration through DHCP in sysinstall->network->configure adaptor which means I have some connectivity but I can't ping local servers on my universities network.
/etc/rc.conf contains two lines of code:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FreeBSD once and managed to get the internet working in till I rebooted by typing dhclient rl0. After reboot I had the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
