Hi all: I have new intstallation of FreeBSD on an i486. It has 2 nics in it, both ne2000, which are recognised correctly as ed0 and ed1, after I recompiled the kernel. I read through networking part of the Handbook at FreeBSD's website, but it only seems to explain it conceptually -- there are no examples of ifconfig and route commands that I need to issue. I have some Linux experience, but it seems that Freebsd's versions of ifconfig and route have different format. I know that man pages should = be my resource, but due to disk space limitations, I can't really afford installing them on that machine. Are there online versions of the man pages perhaps? I wrote in /etc/host "door", /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost.wgaf.net localhost 192.168.1.1 door.wgaf.net door 192.168.1.2 main.wgaf.net main My /etc/host.conf: hosts bind My /etc/resolve.conf: domain wgaf.net nameserver 204.101.251.1 Would anyone be as kind as give me an example of ifconfig and route to = assign 192.168.1.1 to ed1, and to allow me at least ping my other machine (main, 192.168.1.2). Once I'll be able to telnet and ftp between them, life will be much easier.
