I'd suggest directing your question to the X Window community[1], as they are the owners of the kdmconfig utility and I'm not sure any of them hangs out in this one. > Also "ifconfig nge0" shows flags up,broadcast, running, and some > others, and the right IP, mask, and broadcast address, but pinging a > neighbor or the gateway router shows 100% packet loss.

Are the speed/duplex settings on the network switch correct? You can try running "snoop -d nge0" to check out whether you're seeing any packets. Dave
