I'm a little confused, though. Are you using DHCP? If so, the DHCP server _should_ set all this for you. (Although a DHCP server doesn't _have_ to set all this, it sure defeats the purpose if it doesn't) If you're not using DHCP to set the network information on the BSD machine, you'll need to manually add a "defaultrouter=" statement in /etc/rc.conf, and manually create /etc/resolv.conf (or you can use sysinstall to create them) -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
