See if you can ping your own interface. You should be able to ping it on
both the loop back 127.0.0.1 and the 192.168.1.128 address.
If you can ping those and still not the router at 192.168.1.1 check for
other defaultrouter statements. If you have only one of these statements,
I would bring down the interface and bring it up manually until you find
the correct settings. For instance you may need to set the line speed 1t
10 MBs, or 100 MBs or 1000 Mbs, or set the duplex setting. Oh and check
the LED's on your ethernet interface and router and hub/switches to be sure
you didn't knock a cable loose.

thanks, but the defaultrouter line was already present in my /etc/rc.conf.

Check your /etc/rc.conf for this line:
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
add it and reboot if it is missing

Yesterday I placed an HD with Freebsd 5.3 release in a Dell Dimension
L800CXE. It booted properly. ( since it's running a generic kernel with
only a name change)
However I could not ping anything inside or outside the LAN.
Ex:
ping google.com
ping: cannot resolve google.com: Hostname lookup failure
ping 192.168.1.1
ping: sendto: No route to host
I tried several addresses inside the LAN, 127.0.0.1, localhost,
192.168.1.128, and all gave the same result.
I was previously using this HD in another machine to test IPF, with NAT
also, and it worked peerfectly there.
So just to be safe I erased the contents of /etc/rc.conf, and then used
sysinstall to bring up my NIC. I chose NO for IPv6, and YES for DHCP.
That seemed to work correctly, just to be sure I ran ifconfig:
dc0: flags=108843<UP,BROACAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTIPLY> MTU 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.1.128 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 00:80:ad:81:1a:9f
media: Ethernat autoselect (100baseTX)
status: active
plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Still, things are looking good; so, I go to another box, log into my
router(192.168.1.1), and I can see the MAC address of the BSD box on my router.
However, I still get the same results when I ping as I did above.
Then I checked the routing tables:
netstat -r

Internet:

192.168.1.128 localhost UGHS 0 0

The output of netstat and ifconfig aboe are from today. I began having
this problem yesterday, and left the box on over night.
Yesterday's output was different in that the BSD box had a different IP
address, 192.168.1.122. That is fine I understand that the box is
communicating with the router and negotiating leases when they
expire. However, why has the gateway to 192.168.1.1 changed from link#1
to the MAC address of my router. I am certain that if I restart the
computer that same gateway will revert to link#1.
The my questions are:
How do I get the system to see others in the network, and vice-versa?
What should the gateway for 192.168.1.1 be?(which also happens to be my
routers address)
I am hoping it is something simple. I could just as have easily
reinstalled the system and started from scratch, but I wanted to know
how to solve this problem.
Other info that might help:
less /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_dco="DHCP"
hostname="fw.company.com"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
less /etc/resolv.conf
search carolina.rr.com
nameserver 24.25.5.60
naemserver 24.25.5.61
less /etc/hosts
::1 localhost.company.com localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.company.com localhost
Thanks in advance
