Hi --

I'm trying to setup networking on FreeBSD 2.2.2.  I've compiled
the kernel so that it recognizes my ethernet card, set the
hostname in /etc/rc.conf, and configured the /etc/hosts file.

I can ping localhost just fine; but, when I go to ping the IP
address of the host I get:

     ping: sendto: No route to host

I'm assuming that there's at least one thing I haven't done that
I should have.  Is there some documentation describing the steps
I should be following?  If not, could someone fill me in (assuming
that's not a huge job).

Thanks for any input.

     ... doug
