Static IP

bios_23498234908 · Mar 6, 2026

Gentlemen!

I've configured a static IP in /etc/rc.conf.

Code:

ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
default_router="192.168.1.1"

/etc/resolv.conf

Code:

nameserver 9.9.9.9

Code:

chflags schg /etc/resolv.conf

I cannot get any internet connectivity. I can however ssh into the machine.
Does anyone know why there is no internet anschluss? Ja!

If the router is also dns server, shouldn't the defaultrouter ip be the same? Not sure. What kind of internet connection do you have?
I never used something like 9.9.9.9. I wouldn't trust it because it's off the norm. Nothing finds this range a problem?

How do you know? What did you test and what was the result?

Ping doesn't work as well as the package manager (can't do any installs). Thanks.

It's Quad9 DNS.
Some ISP seem to block Quad9... Try another DNS for a start (the one from your ISP or your router).
Used quad9 for some times with this doc

Hallo bios_23498234908,

I believe that the default router is to be specified without an underscore: defaultrouter not default_router.
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

back to basics check: your host name is not empty? you are specifying the correct interface? you need ipv6 too? your service is down? you are not blocking connections in a firewall? you have a domain name and forgot to add it?

There is a little mistake with the variable name:
It is defaultrouter not default_router

EDIT: a bit too late ... ^

Thank you all.

Code:

hostname="server"
keymap="se.kbd"
ifconfig_alc0="inet 192.168.1.92 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_alc0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
pf_enable="YES

Code:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 2a02:920:1200::4
nameserver 2a02:920:4194::2

Still no internet connectivity. Please I need to solve this.

I'm using router DNS and still no connectivity.. thanks

Code:

hostname="server"
keymap="se.kbd"
ifconfig_alc0="inet 192.168.1.92 netmask 255.255.255.0"
#ifconfig_alc0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
pf_enable="YES

I had to disable:
#ifconfig_alc0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
now it works. Hopefullt someone can make use of it.
