Hello Again,
I re-booted the FreeSBIE LiveCd and here is the outcome from your questions.
When I ran netstat -rn, the default gateway was set up as well as the
/etc/resolv.conf had the proper settings forthe gateway and nameserver.
When I did "ping www.yahoo.com" or even "ping 192.168.0.1" (my local
router) as non-root user then I got a message "Ping: Socket: Operation
Not Permitted" I also ran "startx" as non-root.
When I did "su" into root and then did my Ping tests, the I could ping
with no problems.
so it appears to be some type of permission problem that will not let
the non-root user FreeSBIE access the sockets for some reason.
Also, I am running the latest Alpha version of the LiveCD as well.
Cheers,
Lonnie

Regarding the FreeSBIE LiveCD, I downloaded the latest 2.0 Alpha version
and booted it up and right away noticed some nice speed advantages over
Linux, but did also find that even though it detected a network card and
got a masquerade IP from my dhcp server, it would not connect to the
net for some reason and I could not find out where to make any changes.
Could anyone please help to advise me on this?
Did it pick up a default gateway too? (netstat -rn, look for
"default")
Can you ping your dhcp server? Can you ping outside hosts? Is there
anything in /etc/resolv.conf ?
Best Regards
