Neat. I used another workaround (don't remember exactly what) back then,
but this sure looks tidier.
Something to remember...

FWIW, there's an option which may help with this:
[ in dhclient.conf ]
interface "ath0" {
prepend domain-name-servers 196.168.1.1;
}
That's what I currently use :)

Re: Network configuration in FreeBSD
no mine is not dynamic and I have the resolv.conf file set-up. It works fine now. I had some issues with FTP ing and some address conflict message for ssh/tcp. I sysinstalled and disabled SSH there, I guess probably cos inetd takes care of it and ftp also works fine now, i guess after etc/rc.conf & resolve.conf were modified Thanks a lot Bhuvana On Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 5:07 PM, Alphons Fonz van Werven < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jerry McAllister wrote: > > [/etc/resolv.conf] > > > I think DHCP makes it if you do dynamic > > It did so in 6.1-RELEASE and it's not likely that this has changed. > In fact, I had to explicitly config DHCP to not overwrite my resolv.conf > (because I wanted my own DNS server to be queried before the ISP's). > > Alphons > > -- > VISTA - Viruses Intruders Spyware Trojans Adware > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You have to put it in /etc/rc.conf so it will be taken care of during network initialization each time you boot.

I should mention that the line changes if you are using DHCP for dynamic IP assignment.Then, your system will query the net for a DHCP server to assign an IP and other DNS information. I only have fixed IPs right now, so I don't know the syntax for that off the top of my head.

You have to put it in /etc/rc.conf so it will be taken care of during network initialization each time you boot. Everything at startup reads the /etc/rc.conf and finds variables it needs to do its startup and network startup does that too. So, you put in a line like: ifconfig_em0="inet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" and defaultrouter="1.1.1.3" Amongst a number of other startup settings in /etc/rc.conf network startup sees those and says 'oh, I know what to do with those' and runs the ifconfig, etc. Note that putting it in rc.cong only causes a 'ifconfig_em0' variable to be set to"inet 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" and the 'defaultrouter' variable to be set to "1.1.1.3" It is up to the startup programs to do something about it. The startup programs are generally run from the /etc/rc script and from other scripts that it runs. jerry > > > On Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 12:14 PM, Ashish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > ,--[ On Wednesday 30 Jan 2008, Bhuvaneswari Ramkumar wrote: > > | I did have an IP address assigned to my ethernet interface( using the > > | ifconfig command) but I'm unable to ping anybody in my LAN. > > > > In the 'ifconfig -a' output you posted earlier, the 'em0' (your desired > > interface) interface neither has any IP address assigned to it, nor its UP > > . > > So, if you've assigned an IP address to 'em0', then also make sure its UP, > > by > > doing 'ifconfig em0 up' . > > > > HTH > > -- > > Ashish Shukla ??? > > http://wahjava.wordpress.com/ > > ·-- ·- ·--- ·- ···- ·- ·--·-· --· -- ·- ·· ·-·· ·-·-·- -·-· --- -- > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Network configuration in FreeBSD
ok down works but delete dosent I guess the 1st one is for disabling the plip interface and the second for completely removing it , or let me know if I'm getting this wrong here. ifconfig: 10ctl(SIOCDIFADDR) : cant assign requested address is this bcos of the down I did before this command ? once again, thanks for helping out.

Not really, no. You are supposed to show the *exact* output of commands, if you expect more useful answers. Now, I understand that without networking, it may be tricky to capture the output and post it in an email message. If you have a floppy disk you can use the floppy to capture the output of these commands, i.e. by mounting it: # cd /root # mount -t msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt # ifconfig -a > /mnt/ifconfig.txt # netstat -rn > /mnt/netstat.txt # umount /mnt If you have a USB flash drive, you can mount that too (assuming it has a single FAT partition): ( plug the USB flash disk into a USB socket ) # cd /root # mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt # ifconfig -a > /mnt/ifconfig.txt # netstat -rn > /mnt/netstat.txt # umount /mnt ( unplug the flash disk ) It will help immensely if you post the *exact* output of the commands mentioned by Christopher. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Network configuration in FreeBSD
I'm guessing it does detect the interface, network-device & all that, bcos my ifconfig says the ethernet status is active. But still I'm unable to do any kind of networking at all, even pings from other PCs to this one remain unreachable. I'm wondering if I should configure something else in the sysinstall or the rc.conf file.

Re: Network configuration in FreeBSD
I configured the ethernet interface in the post-install config with my IP and net-mask, though I didnt know the gateway then. It gave me a warning that I might not be able to access remote machines, but that still dosent explain why it wont even ping the next node in my LAN. The rc.conf file does have some lines, are we looking for something specific here or should I key-in the gateway data b4 expecting anything else ?

Re: Network configuration in FreeBSD
ifconfig -a em0: flags ...lot of data . status: active ( I'm guessing this is the ethernet interface) netstat -rn routing tables: Internet : 127.0.0.1 ..followed by some IPs, flags(UH), etc .. Internet6 expire followed by some hex-values and flags would this do or more specifics needed ?

The questions it would ask is which device to configure, and whether to try to configure DHCP, and whether to try to configure IPv6. It would then ask you, during install, whether to try to "bring up the network interface now?" If these questions were not part of the install, then something is not right, and someone else on this board might help you. My guess (I'm a newbie too) is that perhaps the network device was not recognized by FreeBSD 5.5? It's always possible to do network configuration post-install. I'd find some documentation on that in the handbook. I think the file that configures the network is rc.local or something. But first make sure the kernel recognized the network device. You might have to put something in /boot/loader.conf to load a kernel module for your network device? But inetd and ftp server and what not have nothing to do with your network actually working, so you were barking up the wrong tree. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I certainly agree with the suggestions to RTFM (Handbook), as well as sysinstall, but just for the record, the following is how you can do it from the command line. Let's assume that your network adapter is using the device name vr0 (you can look this up using the # ifconfig command), your IP address will be 192.168.0.10, your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 your hostname is mybox.example.com, your DNS servers are 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 and finally, your default gateway is 192.168.0.1: First, edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following lines (include the quotes): ifconfig_vr0="inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" hostname="mybox.example.com" Next, edit /etc/resolv.conf and add these lines: search example.com nameserver 10.0.0.1 nameserver 10.0.0.2 Now, to enable things as to not have to reboot, run the following commands: # ifconfig vr0 192.168.0.10/24 # route add default 192.168.0.1 Unless you have a firewall, you should now be able to connect to other hosts.
