Christoph,
Have you tried just using ifconfig?
regards,
jrf
| 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.
