Hi All, I have installed FreeBSD 4.10 to serve as a headless gateway/router/firewall/NAT. The first problem that I have run into can probably be resolved easily. I tried to configure my NIC card via sysinstaller. However, rc.conf does not have a startup variable for "dc0". Therefore dhclient is inoperable. I built this box to be headless therefore it is low-tech with no floppy or flash drive and is currently a stand-alone machine so I am not able to copy the rc.conf file to this post. "dc0" is working because I can bring its status to active manually: 'root@redgate% ifconfig dc0 ether up'. I was wondering what what variables should be assigned to rc.conf, the related variables I have thus far are: ########################## ifconfig_dc0="dhcp" dhcp_program="/sbin/dhclient" dhcp_flags=" " ########################## It would be appreciated if someone could attach or copy an rc.conf file for a similar system configuration. Thanks in advance. HZS
