For DHCP, you should have the line ifconfig_interface="DHCP" where *interface* is the given nic you are using - in other words, it is *not* the word interface. If you are trying to set a static IP addy and gateway, then your rc.conf file should have entries that look like: defaultrouter="x.x.x.x" ifconfig_interface="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x" HtH, Steve Fettig Lance Earl wrote: >I am new to FreeBSD.
