More newbie networking questions [long]

["LiNT ___" <lint_(_at_)_hungover_(_dot_)_com>]

Alright, I give. I've been trying over and over for 3 days now. I'm lost. I've been trying to set up an OpenBSD box with 3 nic cards and it just won't work. Below is a chronology of what I've been doing hopefully someone will see something I've missed.

Network Info: (IP and host has been changed to protect the innocent)
OpenBSD w/ 3 nic cards hooked to cable modem
IP Address: 24.0.130.251
Hostname: cx459683-a_(_at_)_dnpt1_(_dot_)_occa_(_dot_)_home_(_dot_)_com
DNS Server: 24.7.54.63
fxp0-(To cable modem)24.0.130.251
fxp1-(To FTP Server via crossover cable) 10.10.2.1/24
fxp2-(To hub then to internal via straight through cable) 10.10.3.1/24


On to setup...

Configure disks: Done

Configure the network [y] _
Enter system hostname (short form): [] cx459683-a

Your network interface might require non-default
media directives.  The default media is:
        media: media autoselect 10baseT
This is a list of supported media:
        media autoselect
        media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
        media 100baseTX mediaopt half-duplex
        media 100baseTX
        media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
        media 10baseT
        media 10baseT mediaopt half-duplex
If the default is not satisfactory, and you wish to use another
media, copy that line from above (ie. "media 100baseTX")

DONE! Congratulations, you've successfully installed OpenBSD for the 40th time in two days! God your a loser!


At this point I reboot and log into OpenBSD as root.

ping www.openbsd.org

okay, check the link lights on the nics: Good
check the cable: Good

Now what?????
I haven't touched NAT or IPFilter so I would assume all packets coming from the OpenBSD box would go out through fxp0 right? Is there something I'm missing somewhere?

One thing I did notice. If I reset my cable modem and restart OpenBSD, when it starts the networking the transmit light on the cable modem comes on and _stays_ on. I never had that happen before so that struck me as odd. I grab the ethernet and hook it up to my laptop and everything works fine.

I've gone through and checked all the files in /etc and everything _seems_ fine. Ifconfig doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary. I did a netstat -a for the hell of it and didn't see any outbound connections to give reason for the transmit light staying on on the cable modem.

Sorry for such a long email. I just don't want to leave anything out.Please help if you can, I'm about 3 installs away from slicing my wrist with a dull OpenBSD cd.

Thanks,
Jim
