I'm using my dc1 interface as an example. Add something like this to rc.conf: ifconfig_dc1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00" OR, if you don't add the above line in rc.conf, create a file in /etc called start_if.dc1 containing: ifconfig dc1 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 ========================================================== = Bryan D.
