I messed my connection with a new kernel

Hi,

I'm having some problems setting up my connection properly on FreeBSD 8.3 Every thing I do leads to host lookup name failure when I ping. Have no idea why this is happening. I removed my connection from router. Then I ran sysinstall but it doesn't work

My /etc/hosts
Code: 
::1 localhost localhost.lan
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.lan
192.168.1.73 webserver.lan webserver
192.168.1.73 webserver.lan.

/etc/resolv.conf
Code: 
 search lan
nameserver 192.168.1.254
nameserver 192.168.1.254

/etc/rc.conf
Code: 
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
hostname="webserver.lan"

I can see the machine on the router interface.

When I try to ping 192.168.1.254 I get:
Code: 
ping: sendto: Permission denied

And http://www.google.com
Code: 
ping: can't resolve [url]www.google.com[/url]. Host lookup name failure

All this started happening when I compiled a new kernel. The options in the FreeBSD Kernel Handbook weren't working. When I tried to [cmd=]#make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL[/cmd] it says
Code: 
Stop. Don't know how to build kernel.

I searched for a while on google and figured out an command that works
Code: 
#cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
#cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
#config MYKERNEL
#cd ../compile/MYKERNEL
#make depend
#make install

After that my connection starts going insane and I can't compile a new kernel again. When I [cmd=]#make install[/cmd] it says:
Code: 
You must build a kernel first.
Error code 1.

Someone can figure out what is going on?
 
The problem was the kernel.
DutchDaemon you may close this thread, and congratulations for being promoted to Administrator :)

EDIT: Don't close!
I found out what the problem really was.
If I add
Code: 
options IPFIREWALL
in the GENERIC file and then build/install it I got
Code: 
Hoost lookup name failure

But if I don't add it, the connection is fine.

Any solutions?
 
Yeah. Now I realized I didn't have any rules to allow the lo0 interface.

But now I have another problem. My kernel stopped working. I tried
[cmd=]load kernel.old[/cmd]
[cmd=]load GENERIC[/cmd]

None of these were found.

DutchDaemon you won't fix my posts anymore because I have learned how to write with proper formatting :P
 
You need to supply a path to load, e.g. [cmd=]load /boot/kernel.old/kernel[/cmd]
