That's what I'm seeing now. The interface comes up with "ifconfig zp0 inet 198.178.173.1 link0 netmask 255.255.255.0" and pings localhost, but gives "Sendto: Host is down" when pinging any other host, including my default route(an ISDN modem). The Etherlink III green light (indicating network activity) never lights at all. I'm going nuts!! I've installed v2.2.6-Release and I know this used to work (I do have an Etherlink III 5c589 PCMCIA) Can anyone else tell me 'wassup' before I give up and try linux? I really do need FreeBSD or BSDI(no got :) for some Smartgate development I'm beginning. Anyway, all responses are GREATLY appreciated, Alan alan@kether.intellint.com > >The incantation in /etc/rc.conf is something like: > > ifconfig_ex0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx link0 netmask 255.255.255.0" > >That is what works for me. > >Good Luck > >Bob Keys \_\_\_________________________________________ \_ \_\_\_ Unix, WindowsNT & Mac(h) | Alan M.
