Hi Everyone, this may sound rudimentary but---How do I assign an IP address to my FreeBSD machine? I set the IP in sysconfig to the NIC which is being autodetected as ed1. So I've set ed1 to 192.168.1.4 which is the address I want to use. Do I have to change anything in any other files? The host file? This is a bit confusing since what I want to do is just have it on my local net and call it "boogie" The host file examples show names which include . like myname.domainname.net or something like that. could someone send me a simple example of a working sysconfig and hosts file and anyother config files I may need to get this thing on my net. right now I would be very happy to just be able to telnet to it... Thanks ---Chris
