Hi, I am using Linux since kernel 0.99pl15 and also have worked with Sinix (Siemens commercial U*ix version). Today I got me FreeBSD 4.0. For 2 hours now I cannot get the machine to work in my internal network. All I want to tell it is: - this is your address: 192.168.0.22/24 - this is your default gateway: 192.168.0.15 - this is your DNS server to ask: 192.168.0.15 I could not find any of these mentioned in the FAQ or handbook (which only tells about PPP etc.; at least KDE is working so I can read the handbook - lynx was *not* installed on the machine). All I found after the first boot-up was the /etc/issue that I should have a look on www.freebsd.org - very funny when the network is not up and running. But good luck I have an old Win95 machine here... ;-) BTW, I could tell the machine its IP address manually - by reading /etc/rc.network and creating /etc/start_if.fxp0... that is too much for me. Then I booted a Linux machine and installed /etc/route.conf accordingly - the machine ignores it... If that's FreeBSD then there's no wonder that there is that big Linux hype all around... (sorry folks, but I'm veeery frustraded right now). BTW, I am not counting on some fancy setup tool here, just tell me which files I have to edit to get this simple network conf up and running.
