unable to ping out of a new install
I just installed 5.3 on a laptop and am able to ping it, but it cannot ping anything else. When I enter the ping ipaddress command the curser moves down a line then nothing. It doesn't even time out. Just nothing. The box will reply to a ping from another box on the network though. Is there something new in 5.3 that I have to do to allow it to send a ping?

Re: unable to ping out of a new install
Hi Chip, You can reconfigure your network interface using the sysinstall utility (/stand/sysinstall). If you are not using DHCP make sure that you have a DNS server and GATEWAY configured. --Nick On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 14:46:07 -0700, Chip Wiegand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed 5.3 on a laptop and am able to ping it, but it cannot ping anything else.

No DHCP for this particular network, only 3 computers - dmz (on the firewall), and two computers. They all ping each other and reply to each other just fine, EXCEPT that the BSD box will not ping out to the other boxes. It WILL respond to a ping from the other boxes though. -- Chip On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 14:46:07 -0700, Chip Wiegand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed 5.3 on a laptop and am able to ping it, but it cannot ping anything else.
