Issue with LAN connection

Stay with me here, this might be a little difficult to explain upon:

Okay, two days ago I decided to restart fvwm because it had been up for a couple of days now. When I started fvwm, I opened up an xterm window and irssi wasn't connecting to any irc networks. I was unable to get opera connected to the internet, but my router says I'm connected to the internet.

I am able to SSH onto my mac from my bsd server, and vice versa, btu I can't get on the inernet on the server. I'm connected to the internet fine on my mac and am ssh'd into my server to access certain files.

Extra information:
I use the rum0 driver.
I think the problem is with my host[name]
Restarting my server does not work.
 
From the FreeBSD server:
  • Can you ping to your gateway?
  • Is your network's gateway set as your default router? % netstat -rn
  • Can you ping to IP addresses out past your gateway? (e.g. Try 69.147.114.224, which is one of Yahoo's hosts.)
  • Can you resolve names? Try: % dig yahoo.com
 
Code: 
[xsiick@jakeserver ~]$ ping 70.146.40.25
PING 70.146.40.25 (70.146.40.25): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host

Code: 
[xsiick@jakeserver ~]$ netstat -rn

You don't have a default route listed. Something like route add default 192.168.1.x is needed, where x is the IP of the default gateway on your network.

Without a default route, the system doesn't know where to send packets for systems not on the local network (ie anything not on 192.168.1.0/24).
 
@xsiick, just add a default router, as mentioned.

# echo 'defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Then either restart networking or restart the box.

Once that's done, please run through the same tests (from my last post) again.
 
xsiisick do you use DHCP? If so, try using dhclient rum0 to get a new lease, this should also include a default gateway. If you still don't have a default gateway check your DHCP server configuration.
 
@SirDice thanks! dhclient worked for me. I guess my router doesn't like it when an IP is 192.168.1.97 lol...
 
To make it permanent, don't forget to edit /etc/rc.conf and change any ifconfig_rum0 line to use DHCP instead of hard-coding in an IP.
