At long last, slytherin has been delivered! It is currently sucking source directories from this machine, but it's runnign through the campus network. the 760MP motherboard comes with dual xl ports. Ultimately, it would be nice for it to serve as a router for my laptop. In the meantime, I'd like for it to talk as 10.x.x.x or some such, but I'm not having much luck. I think I even froze it with my attempts to load addresses with ifconfig. I've tried configuring the second port with /stand/sysinstall, but the result is to change the default router. There is no router; there's a single machine that thinks it knows it's IP (which is on the same subnet as slytherin), and no need to ever worry about any other machine connecting. What's the best bet here? btw, sltherin has dual athlon 1900's (the 2000's came out to late to change!), 2G ddr, and 4 18g 15rpm drives. Take that, bashed numbers [1], and I"ll watch on the 21" Trinitron monitor . . . :) hawk [1] My models don't so much crunch numbers as bash them into submission . . . -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
