I finally got my FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE system to connect to my home network (a Verizon DSL router) by installing the correct driver (myk0) for my Marvell Yukon Ethernet adapter (ASUS M3A78-T motherboard). Now I can finally ping and look up hosts and nslookup, and I'm sure a couple other nifty things.
I cannot, however, connect to my DreamHost SSH account. I cannot update the ports collection using csup. I cannot either check my ports against the portaudit database file, because it won't download. These activities always result in an "operation timed out" or "no route to host" error. Therefor, I can't get anything actually useful done with my Internet connection!
Can you guys provide some leads? My /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/rc.conf are all globally readable. I've configured DHCP via sysinstall after installing this new Ethernet adapter, so it's added a couple things to the /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf, but none of it looks obviously wrong to me.
