[nycbug-talk] Problem with Hostnames

[Tilly]

Hey

It seems i dont have a gateway set. So i put in

defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

right under my ifconfig_dc0 statement. Then i do a ping outside of my
network and i get No route to host and this is after i saved the config file
and did a /etc/rc.d/netif restart

This is driving me insane.
