Lacking a supported ethernet card (they ordered a Xircom) I opted for a SLIP install. After entering the network parameters on the install screen I tried to get it to talk to my FBSD115 system. Note that I skipped the entry for the nameserver (I don't have one at home..). ALl this resulted in the portmapper complaining. A ifconfig sl0 on vty4 showed that the sl0 interface had not been configured. No IP adresses showed up. The message slattach: sl0 connected to /dev/cuaa0 at 115200 was there allright. I did a manual ifconfig sl0 and then things started working. I'm currently trying to get it any further, will post results. Appreciate insights on the ifconfig issue Wilko _ __________________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte email: wilko@yedi.iaf.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) Private FreeBSD site - Arnhem - The Netherlands --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
