 Dear Joerg,
 
 Can you provide details about the host and hypervisor?  Was the install =
 from the ISO?=20
 
 In your working installation, presumably the device is vioif0 ? =20
 
 I also meant to add to the ticket, but accidentally got cut off, was =
 that this does not seem to be just a DHCP problem; bringing the network =
 up manually with ifconfig and ensuring correct static route in place, I =
 still cannot reach the outside (except by ARP, see below).
 
 ifconfig vioif0 inet4 192.168.1.7 netmask 255.255.255.0
 result: success, but no host is ping-able, and pings to this host fail.
 
 However tonight I discovered that ARP works in one direction: after =
 bringing up the interface, and pinging from the outside (for example =
 from my laptop on the same LAN), then re-run netstat -r on the NetBSD-7 =
 machine, the IP and MAC address for my laptop now appear in the routing =
 table.
 
 
 However, if I ping FROM the netBSD machine, the MAC never appears in the =
 routing table, only as =E2=80=9Clink#1=E2=80=9D with the R flag =
 (unreachable)
 
 =20
 Kind regards
 James
