Hello,
I got a strange networking problem. I'm currently running NetBSD
1.4.2 on i386 with a 3c509 in it.
I did the installation via FTP from a host in the LAN and everything
went well. But as I now boot for the first time, I just can't get any
network access. (I'm using just the same network config as sysinst,
though.) I can't ping any host in the LAN, nor can I ping the
problematic host from outside.
Another strange thing is that ping is _very_ slow. It takes about
half a minute or sometimes even longer 'til I get a response from
"ping 127.0.0.1".
I've checked half the /etc so far, but still can't find the mistake.
Any hints? TIA.
Regards,
Chris.
