I've had since ages these two lines in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_bce0="inet 192.168.178.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bce1="inet 192.168.178.6 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.178.1" The box has two RJ-45 ports and the only used one was the first, bce0. I changed the lines now to ifconfig_bce0="inet 192.168.178.5 netmask 255.255.255.0" # ifconfig_bce1="inet 192.168.178.6 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.178.1" plugged in the cable again into the first port and all is fine, but unclear why it worked before the update to a recent CURRENT. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
