Hello.
I have configured network on my vaxstation 4000/90.
Kernel Generic.
The NIC device is ze0

The VAXstation is attached on a switch. The switch led and the CentreCOM
210T transceiver show the link and network activity since the led blinks
but network does not work.
I am not able to ping the computer next to my vaxstation on the same LAN
as well as I am not able to ping the vaxstation from other computers.
I Am complitely out of network.
Even from inside I Can only ping localhost.
If I ping my own ip from the VAXstation it does not work as well.

giulietta# ifconfig ze0
ze0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.84.x.y netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.84.x.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:2bff:fe91:b1ac%ze0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

But nothing works, nothing.
I absolutely don't know what I have to do.
In the rc.conf:
ifconfig_ze0="192.84.x.y broadcast 192.84.x.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"

but network is down. no ping no traceroute, nothing...

here is the output from netstat -nr
