It's not that people cannot access the network. They only cannot use ping (and perhaps other network utilities). Doesn't firefox work as user freesbie for you?

When I ran netstat -rn, the default gateway was set up as well as the /etc/resolv.conf had the proper settings forthe gateway and nameserver.

Could anyone please help to advise me on this? Did it pick up a default gateway too? (netstat -rn, look for default) Can you ping your dhcp server? Can you ping outside hosts? Is there anything in /etc/resolv.conf ? Best Regards -- Matteo Riondato FreeBSD Committer (http://www.freebsd.org) G.U.F.I.
