When I reboot using 'shutdown -h now', and then boot back up, the machine won't connect to the network. If I simply use 'reboot' or 'fastboot' (fastboot is aliased to reboot, according to the man page) the network is detected with no problems. My guess is that I have a configuration problem that's only found when booting cold. Anyone have any idea what network files are accessed during a cold boot and not a reboot? Or am I on the wrong track altogether? I'd be happy to provide any other info that might be relevant. Thanks for the help. -- Matt -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
