Christoph,

Have you tried just using ifconfig?

| 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.
