I don't know the answer to your problem but here is what I would do to
locate it.
1. Check logs to verify that I am connecting to the net.
2. Check /etc/init.d/netbase to insure that my network ip is
correct and that I have ipchains rules configured correctly.
Ipfwadm was replaced by ipchains in 2.2.x kernels.
3. Check that the IP addresses in /etc/init.d/network are correct.
As this is where ipconfig & route are setup.
HTH, YMMV, HAND
