Title: Networking stops after a few minutes.

I'm having a few problems keeping networking working.  It boots up ok, gets an IP from the DHCP server and updates the resolv.conf.  But...

1. I can ping, but only for the first minute or so after booting.  Then no more networking.

2. I installed the VMXNet-1.3 version of drivers.

3. Installed OpenStep4.2 on VMWare server 1.0.5.

4. Installed the DHCP package.

Thanks,
Greg

DHCP so far doesn't seem to provide all the info for me. You can add a default route this way:

Code Select
route add default ROUTER-IP 1

The problem being that OpenStep uses bootp for network configuration. You may be better off adding the gateway ip to the config via the Simple Network Starter app.

No, that's not it.  My DHCP set the default route correctly.  What I was trying was to ping my local gateway.  It does work for a little while, then stops.  I don't remember where logs are and such for mach, so is there any way to tell if the network stack stopped working?

Thanks,
Greg

You can find logs in /usr/adm/messages (and there are other logs in the same dir) for what it's worth... mach isn't terribly verbose I find, although I'm sure you can tune that.
