Hi there, my name is Brendon and I am very new to the whole Linux, Unix and FreeBSD arena. I have managed to install FreeBSD on my machine a few times already and always seem to experience a few recurring problems. I downloaded the FreeBSD handbook but can't seem to open it FreeBSD using KDE 3.1 desktop environment with Ghostviewer. (I downloaded it using my Xp machine.) which is my first problem. Next in regards to the networking side of things- I can (using console assign an IP, Netmask, Broadcast and Media type to my respective NIC -OK , but when I startx and try view the nework or setup LISa daemon ( from the Control Centre)it always tells me that there is no NIC found on my system. What are the options that need to be configured and where are they??? My desired end result is to be able via the GUI browse the local network to other Unix/Linux machines and to see my XP machine. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated Brendon brendon@memetics.co.za or brendonr@webmail.co.za +27 82 8844303 Gauteng South Africa
