ifconfig em0 up also doesnt help ping my LAN. the ifconfig -a output now reads the IP I just added, as well as the net-mask & the 100 Mbps active linnk.
quick question : I did an ifconfig em0 1.1.1.2 yday.should this be done everytime I restart my application, is it some kind of a temporary address assignment, bcos whatever I assigned was not visible today when I re-booted and I had to do it again, probably I should set this in the conf file also ? maybe as another user said my NIC is not enabled or something like that.
