I recently upgraded to 5.2 from 5.1 without any problems accept that now everytime I reboot I have to:
[code:1:90a40ffc32]route add default 192.168.1.1[/code:1:90a40ffc32]
in order to get online.

I have this set in my rc.conf:
[code:1:90a40ffc32]defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"[/code:1:90a40ffc32]

Not sure where else to look.
Any ideas?

[bsdjunkie]

Do you have gateway_enable=YES in rc.conf as well??

[rob897]

No I don't, should I add this in?

[rob897]

Well I added that in and rebooted still did not work.

[rob897]

Anyone have any other ideas? This is really troublesome.

[optyk]

What do you use this box for? It might be worth trying a buildworld to make sure any cruft from 5.1 is cleaned out.

[rob897]

It my main machine for pretty much all day to day use.

I have this set in my rc.conf:
[code:1:590d5ff09a]defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"[/code:1:590d5ff09a]


It needs to be 'defaultroute' not 'defaultrouter'.

[optyk]

d'OH!
Great proofreading, frisco ;)

defaultrouter in my rc.conf, but who knows. This system hasn't gone down in a long while, and I'm not about to shut it down to test. :D

[rob897]

defaultrouter is correct according the the freebsd docs.

[frisco]

I'm not very familiar with FreeBSD, so i looked through /etc/rc.d/network (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/root/src/src/etc/rc.d/network?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=RELENG_5_2) to see where 'route add default' was run:

[code:1:7465deb2a6]
# Check $defaultroute, then /etc/mygate, for the name of my gateway
# host. That name must be in /etc/hosts.
#
if [ -z "$defaultroute" ] && [ -f /etc/mygate ]; then
defaultroute=`cat /etc/mygate`
fi
if [ -n "$defaultroute" ]; then
route add default $defaultroute
fi
[/code:1:7465deb2a6]

That's what made me believe $defaultroute was correct.

I see a defaultrouter in /etc/rc.d/routing (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/root/src/src/etc/rc.d/routing?rev=1.139&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup)
and perhaps it's somewhere else too. In that file it sets:
[code:1:7465deb2a6]
case ${defaultrouter} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
;;
*)
static_routes="default ${static_routes}"
route_default="default ${defaultrouter}"
;;
esac
[/code:1:7465deb2a6]

But i don't have the time to search for where $route_default is used.

Anyways, if i were you i'd trace through my startup files looking for where my default route should be set. Start at /etc/rc, this runs all the files in /etc/rc.d/, so search through those to see where the default route is getting added. Good luck.

[Kernel_Killer]

You know. If you wanted to make it easy on yourself, you could always run /stand/sysinstall, and reconfigure the interface with the gateway, and it should replace all entries pertaining to the default router, and IP.

Don't know why I didn't think of that before. :roll:

[rob897]

Kernel, yea that was my first attempt at getting it to work..
Still nothing..


Frisco, I will look into this more when I get some time.

[rob897]

Ok well looking through my /etc/rc.d/ folder the only file similar to the network one is: /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6

Do you think this could be the problem?
I did not setup the IPv6 so I am not sure what needs to be done.
