Yes that was the problem. I did this: ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 After that I could ping localhost and my VNC connection via SSH succeeded. Now how do I fix this problem permanently in FreeBSD, by running sysinstall again and setting the loopback address from there? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
