Hello.

I am working with FreeBSD 2.1.6. After installing, I am having  some
networking problems. I try to ping a host on my network, and I am
getting an error message - "no route to host".

Is this a symptom of a mis-configured network card? I have a 3Com
3C90X. In the Userconfig utility, I saw no mention of this card - only
the 3C50X. Are these cards alike enough to operate with the same
driver?

Is there any way of starting up the Userconfig utility than entering
-c at the boot prompt?

Thanks
