Default Manually Configuring an IP Address problem

Hi, I'm trying to configure my wireless interface manually without dhclient. I tried searching around but cant seem to find the right steps. So far i have tried

Code:
sudo ifconfig urtw0 inet [ipaddress] netmask [netmask] up
ifconfig shows my status is active, but nothing works in the browser.
the ip address and netmask i use are the ones last used so they are right. What other steps am i missing?

thanks
munchiez

Possibly verifying the routing table looks ok?

You need:
  • A default route:
    Code:
    $ netstat -rn -f inet
    Routing tables
    
    Internet:
    Destination        Gateway            Flags   Refs      Use   Mtu  Prio Iface
    default            192.168.222.10     UGS        8    14022     -     8 re0  
    127/8              127.0.0.1          UGRS       0        0 33152     8 lo0  
    127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH         3     2380 33152     4 lo0  
    192.168.222/24     link#1             UC         2        0     -     4 re0  
    192.168.222.10     00:10:5a:14:52:a5  UHLc       1     1004     -     4 re0  
    192.168.222.20     127.0.0.1          UG         0        0 33152    56 lo0  
    192.168.222.200    link#1             UHLc       1        3     -     4 re0  
    224/4              127.0.0.1          URS        0        0 33152     8 lo0
  • A valid /etc/resolv.conf
    Code:
    search utp.xnet
    nameserver 192.168.222.10
    lookup file bind

In my case the nameserver and default route happens to be the same, because I run a nameserver on my OBSD firewall. Usually these are different.

netstat -rn shows normally with working connection:

Code:
Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags   Refs      Use   Mtu  Prio Iface
default            192.168.0.1        UGS        1       33     -    12 urtw0
127/8              127.0.0.1          UGRS       0        0 33196     8 lo0  
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH         2        2 33196     4 lo0  
192.168.0/24       link#5             UC         1        0     -     4 urtw0

192.168.0.4        127.0.0.1          UGHS       0        0 33196     8 lo0  
224/4              127.0.0.1          URS        0        0 33196     8 lo0

after i run
Code:
 inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
i get:

resolv.conf is the same on both instances

Code:
nameserver 194.168.4.100
nameserver 194.168.8.100
lookup file bind

First get things working by adding the route manually: # route add default ww.xx.yy.zz

/etc/mygate only needs a single line with the IP address of the default gateway. See mygate(5)
