Pardon me if I was sounding agravated but I couln't believe it was any script fault.
I could feel in my bones that Archie was innocent. I just couln't prove it
Thanks for the support, Penguin.

]]>Are you saying after stopping iptables and/or removing the line from rc.local... you still get no network after a /etc/rc.d/network restart ?.
I'm afraid so, Penguin.
I checked my rc.conf, everything's on place. I can ping myself, hwd detects my cable modem, lsmod lists usbnet module.
I've seen some similar problems around this forum but they seem to be caused by some kernel upgrade or something, and this is not the case. All I did that evening was installing cups, autofs,clamav, alsa and iptables/quicktables. All following the howto's, w/ no fuss.
Can you suggest some tests to see if we can trace this problem?
Cheers.
]]>I was using the usbnet modules from the beginning. After cups I added the usblp module but I guess It woudn't mess with the usb devices.
lshwd lists them all.
If it helps, I can post my network daemon script...
]]>timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
since then.
Nothing changes when I stop iptables daemon and try to start the network daemon manually.
Is it possible that when I put
/usr/local/sbin/rc.firewall
in /etc/rc.local and rebooted it changed something in my network daemon script?
I tried rebooting w/o that line and the problem remains.
:shock:
My /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd:
DHCPCD_ARGS="-R -t 10 -h $HOSTNAME"
Does someone ever came across something like this?
