The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

My guess is that you should use the nameserver from the provider and use your modem as defaultrouter (I'm guessing it's the 192.168.2.1 address??!) . Something like:

etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_cdce0="DHCP"
defaultrouter="192.168.2.1"

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Check your provider documentation to see if they provide a nameserver you can use...
 
02.29.2008 at 05:00PM PST, ID: 21019132
i've edited the configuration files as follows :

/etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_cdce0="DHCP"
defaultrouter="192.168.2.1"

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 212.216.112.112
nameserver 212.216.172.62

and i've rebooted. when pc has restarted the connection hasn't worked and the resolv.conf has been overwritten with this :

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.2.1

It's your DHCP server that is doing that. You can check if you have an internet connection even without a working NS. Try this in a shell/ console

ping 64.233.167.99

This will ping a google server. Does that work?
 
03.01.2008 at 06:38AM PST, ID: 21021809
ping 64.233.167.99 : 56 data bytes

Tell me a bit more about your configuration. Is the FreeBSD computer connected directly to your modem? If so, did you check the modem itself already? You can probably login via a web interface.

Try typing this in your browser:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of your modem...

What address has your DHCP server then? Is it running under FreeBSD?

You could try this:
arp -i cdce0 -a

To see what connections show up...

You didn't tell me anything about your config yet...

It looks like your router operates in 192.168.2.x range. What does your /etc/rc.conf look like?

watchdog timeout means no cable is plugged in

You say you need to use cdce0 device but dhclient sats it attempts to configure disconnected bfe0 adaptor.

Let me guess sysinstall will sort it all out and write correct rc.conf afterwards.
 
03.12.2008 at 06:01AM PDT, ID: 21105425
as i said on : 03.09.2008 at 09:29PM CET, ID: 21082589 :

i've removed DesktopBSD,i've installed FreeBSD 7.0 RELEASE and now i'm using an ETH connection.
so,i'm not using cdce0,but bfe0.
cable is plugged in.
i've tried to run sysinstall to make the correct rc.conf,but it fails,telling :

bfe0 : watchdog timeout --resetting

Can you give us the output of ifconfig -a

Also, if you do a

dmesg | grep bfe0

Is it properly detected?

/sbin/ifconfig -am, please

Please edit out last 3 bytes of MAC (Hardware) address - they do not contribute to solution, and may hurt your privacy

Theory - some cards do have not-so-supported MDI/MDI-X invertor and need to be configured manually to invert cable.

Motherboard of the pc was broken,so i've had to change it. it's for this reason that the network integrated card on the motherboard didn't work great,and now i've came back to use the usb connection (cdce0). Here the details of the connection :

cdce0 inet 192.168.2.4
          media eth 10baset/utp
          active

cdce0 texas instruments
          cdc eth/rndis adapter on uhub1
          faking mac address
          eth address : 2a:0...

if_start running deferred for giant

arp -i cdce0 -a

output : nothing

/etc/rc.conf

defaultrouter = "192.168.2.1"
ifconfig_cdce0="DHCP"

/etc/resolv.conf

192.168.2.1

ping www.google.it

hostname lookup failure.

If so, you will need to set the proper nameserver(s) in your router so that resolv.con
