Thanks alot -
I do mean rc.conf that was a mistake.
ifconfig_sis0="inet 192.168.2.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
^^^^^^^
Oh my, that could very well be the problem. I was trying to get this going
last and am at work at the moment and wrote this post from memory but I am
fairly sure that is what I put- I will check this once I get home. I
apologise for the poorely written and stupid(if this is the problem)
question, and thanks very much for the respone.
Ryan
Barry - sorry fr responding to your email directly - I hit reply intending
this to go to the list but then realised what was in the To field a little
to late.

I assume you mean rc.conf.
and I think it should read:
ifconfig_sis0="inet 192.168.2.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
^^^^^^^
