The installation started ok but it all went wrong when it came to connecting to the internet through my wired router http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html l'm really not sure what entries to put in fig 2-29 that will allow my connection. My email address is g7mjv@btinternet.com My router's address is 192.168.1.1 and running ifconfig on my linux machine gives the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:6C:E2:58:25 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::201:6cff:fee2:5825/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5894 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4431375 (4.2 MB) TX bytes:616025 (601.5 KB) Interrupt:20 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:5380 (5.2 KB) TX bytes:5380 (5.2 KB) Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Andy - Salisbury, UK
