Yes...what I did was completely delete the hostname line from my /etc/rc.conf and had my inconfig_sk0="DHCP" though this does seem somewhat problematic...every now and then I will boot up and it won't work...then I just reboot and all of a sudden it works *shrug* I fogured out what was wrong with starting X and you will probably have the same problem when you delete your hostname line from your rc.conf I googled it and found that a way to fix this problem isto simply delete the old .Xauthority file....I did that and now have my network and X back = D ....there may be (and probably is) a better way to accomplish this but this was just one way I found to get it to work...if someone has a better suggestion on how to do this I would be more than happy to hear about it = ) Thanks for all your help and good luck with getting your network to work at boot = ) Don --- hoe-waa@hawaii.rr.com wrote: > Aloha Don > I am very happy I was able to help. > > One question for you before I answer yours.
