Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 7.2 x86. All I want is to open firefox and browse Internet-sites. No VPN, no NAT, not routing, e.t.r. Just a simple stupid windows-like internet. No modems used, just a direct access with my network card.
My provider uses DHCP and in windows all is done automatically.
In FreeBSD I tried to do the following: in rc.conf i have put:
But it doesn't work and ifconfig tells that IP is 0.0.0.0.
I tried to play with background_dhclient_ale0 and background_dhclient but with no positive result.
After that I tried to enter all data manually (copied all from Windows info on this connection, so I have two PCs, on one I have windows, on another I have FreeBSD, I have one cable with access to Internet, all I want is to plug it into my FreeBSD machine and make it work).
When I tried to enter this data dynamicly defined in Windows in manual way it worked on my Windows machine. Thus in my FreeBSD machine I have done the following:
In resolve.conf I've put:
In rc.conf:
And IT DO NOT WORK. Pings on everything just return nothing, dns servers are also invisible. All is just dead. Please note that I have totally disabled firewall so this is not a reason of a problem. I tried to play with gateway_enable and router_enable settings, but with no success.
In the same time when I try to connect this FreeBSD to my Windows station using the following:
It works great. Samba is working, all shares are visible and all is just wonderful.
I'am a little bit lame in UNIX world but I'm working on it. Please help me to connect my workstation to Internet, all I want is to access Internet with my Firefox, that's it.
Thank you in advance.
PS: My kernetl config, rc.conf, loader.conf and resolve.conf are attached to the message.
