Hi, I am trying to give my FreeBsd box a static ip address. I have set up machines with static ip's before without problems. This machine used dhcp previously. In rc.d I have changed ifconfig_sis0="DHCP" to ifconfig_sis0="inet 192.168.2.100 subnet 255.255.255.0" 192.168.2.100 is the address it used to be assigned via dhcp. The dhcp server on my network is now disabled. The problem is that now when ifconfig runs during boot the card does not report an ip address. If I run ifconfig it shows that the cards autodetected the media ok - but it does not have an ip address. The interface is therefre not operational. This has worked for me in the past OK. I've tried looking for solutions but with no luck so far. I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they know of anything I might have got wrong that would lead to this problem. As far as I'm aware this is the first step in switching the box over to a static ip.
