I've got a home network with several computers connected through a hub and another running OpenBSD as the gateway/firewall. I recently tried to connect a Windows 7 computer to the network, but it says "Unidentified Network" and gives me "no route to host" when I try to ping anything else on the LAN. I've got the Windows 7 box's IPV4 address set to 192.168.1.18 and the gateway set to 192.168.1.1. I'm not using DHCP and there are no local DHCP servers on the network.

You need to download, compile, and run the LLTD responder daemon. I've never done so on OpenBSD, but have done so successfully on Linux. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463094. You might also look into disabling LLTD on all Windows Vista/7 computers but I'm not sure if that will affect Windows "network identification".

Sorry I wasn't clear at all. I'm not so much concerned that it's coming up as an "Unidentified Network" as the fact that I can't connect at all. It gives me a "no route to host" response when I try to ping the gateway. – Strill Oct 2 '11 at 6:55

Well, route print pls, from Win7 box and check default route

It seems as some misconfiguration of IPv4-interface (thin netmask, wrong default GW) for me (if other hosts are interpingable)
