I changed nic on one pc. This pc is triple-booting FreeBSD, Slackware 7.0 and Windows 98. I was able to re-configure both the LInux and Windows network interfaces...........

After reviewing the manual, It seems to me that the only way to reconfigure for the new nic, is to re-install the FreeBSD system.` I sure hope I'm wrong... de jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
