Can't connect to internet

Hello,

I've just installed FreeBSD 9.1 amd64 for the first time on my PC but I'm not able to access the net. I configured my ethernet interface with bsdinstaller with no results, if I ping google.com I get
Code: 
Host name lookup failure

Here is my /etc/rc.conf
Code: 
ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet accept_rtadv"

My ifconfig:
Code: 
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
(...)
inet6 fe80:255:22ff:fead:9710%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 192.168.2.15 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
(...)
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full duplex>)
status: active

I checked the hardware notes:
The re(4) driver supports RealTek RTL8139C+, RTL8169, RTL816xS, RTL811xS, RTL8168, RTL810xE and RTL8111 based Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet adapters including:

Make sure your DHCP server is supplying the correct DNS servers. Check /etc/resolv.conf.
 
Here is my resolv.conf:

Code: 
#Generated by resolvconf
search homenet.telecomitalia.it. telecomitalia.it
nameserver 192.168.2.1
 
In that case there's probably something wrong with your router.
 
This morning I tried to configure a USB RTL8187B wireless adapter with good results: I can connect to internet now, but I want to solve my issue, so I will try to reconfigure my ethernet controller. I will give you more information!
 
Things to consider:
  • [cmd=]ping 8.8.8.8[/cmd] Pinging an IP address is a good way of testing connectivity. It's google's DNS server if you're wondering about this IP address.
  • Any kind of "lookup failure" is a resolving issue, this will fail if there's no IP connection. So check that first, see the first bullet point. If that works it's a resolver(5) issue. That's usually /etc/resolv.conf.
  • If all of those are correct it's something else. Nah, seriously, the above points are just basic simple tests :e
 
This morning I tried to reconfigure the controller and I got it working.
Thank you!
