Hi, I'm running 5.3 STABLE. I need to change the MAC address of my PC. I know it can be done like this: ifconfig rl0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66 So I guessed I could make life a little easier by adding this in my /etc/rc.conf file as: ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.123.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 11:22:33:44:55:66" However, this does not seem to work. No IP address is assigned to the LAN card after bootup. Apparently something is wrong here. Any idea how I can do this at bootup? Thanks, Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
