I've been trying for the last 8 hours or so, unsuccessfully to bring up my OpenBSD box. I'm at the point where I'm lost, I can't figure it out and I have no one to turn to, hence this email.

I've been having incredible problems trying to set up all 3 nic cards (firewall w/ DMZ) and get them _all_ working. I can get one singular card up and running but get stuck after that. If I manually add the other nic cards I can add some of the information via hostname.fxp1 & fxp2 as per the faq but I don't know where to put the defualt gateway for nic's 2 and 3 or the hostname. I've looked but can't find any more info on this, any pointers? 

Secondly, if I add all 3 nic's and do a clean install I can set up all 3 nics from within the install but once it's up and running I can't connect to anything and I can't ping the @home gateway. Link lights on the nics are on and the cables good so I ruled that out. Any ideas or advice?

Lastly, does OpenBSD set up nic's relative to thier pci order? Example, is pci slot 1 (the first nic) going to be fxp0 and the second pci slot fxp1? How do I know which nic is associated with which interface? All three nic's are Intel Pro 100's.

Relative ifconfig info follows:

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
media: Ethernet autoselect (none) <--- Can someone explain this line to me?
status: no carrier  <--probably the problem
inet 99.99.99.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 99.99.99.255
fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
status: active
inet 10.10.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.2.255
fxp2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
status: active
inet 10.10.3.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.3.255


I apologize for my incoherency and stupidity at this point. If anyone has any pointers or answers, I'd be incredibly appreciative right now. If you need any other info, please let me know.


Thanks,
Jim
