Hello,

I got a strange networking problem. I'm currently running NetBSD 
1.4.2 on i386 with a 3c509 in it.

I did the installation via FTP from a host in the LAN and everything 
went well. But as I now boot for the first time, I just can't get any 
network access. (I'm using just the same network config as sysinst, 
though.) I can't ping any host in the LAN, nor can I ping the 
problematic host from outside.

Another strange thing is that ping is _very_ slow. It takes about 
half a minute or sometimes even longer 'til I get a response from 
"ping 127.0.0.1".

I've checked half the /etc so far, but still can't find the mistake.

Any hints? TIA.

Regards,
Chris.
