I tried both of those and got the same result, ping: sendto: No route
to host.
I examined my dmesg output a little closer and noticed:
IP Filter: v3.4.35 initialized. Default = block all, Logging = enabled
This means that my assumption of disabling IPF by removing all of the
comments tertainin to it and IPNat from /etc/rc.conf were wrong because
it it compiled statically. This means that there is no way to turn it
off, right?
So I reloaded my old /etc.rc.conf with the somments to turn on IPF and
IPNat, and point to their rules files.
The previous computer this HD was installed on had two NICs sis0 and
sis1.
sis0 was connected to the WAN, so I just changed sis0 in all the
comments to dc0. I made sure there was a statement that allowed ICMP
statements thru.
I restarted, and things stayed the same, so I went back to
/etc/ipf.rules and changed all instances of sis1 to dc0, also maing
sure the ICMP statement was there.
I restarted again and, once again ,no progress. Since the previous
machine had two interfaces this is most likely the issue since nat is
messing things up.
I have to get moving forward with this project so I am simply
downloading the new 6.0 release.
This should solve the problem.
Thanks anyway

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:

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
