This means that it cannot synchronize your database with the server.
Is your network up and running?

Re: then what..?

are you able to use the internet? even though you did a network install, something may have went wrong along the lines, just a thought.

Re: then what..?

Do you have two NICs by any chance?  For some people, the ethernet interfaces have been switching physical NICs, so if you've only got one cable plugged in, try swapping it to the other NIC.  That happened to me when I first installed...search the forums for a technique to tie an interface name with a specific NIC by way of MAC address.

If you only have one NIC, well, my suggestion won't help you...

Re: then what..?

Re: then what..?

Then do it like this.
1.

su -

2.

nano /etc/rc.conf

3. look for a line which says like eth0=(.....
4. change the contents of that to look like

eth0=(dhcp)

5. Save the file (Ctrl+X), quit
6.

/etc/profile/network restart

You should be all set smile

You might need to edit /etc/rc.conf. Here you can find some more information about network configuration.
