If not, here's one other thing I'd like to point out: linux users often are confused by the different names for the ethernet card. In linux, it's always eth0. With freebsd, it's wd0 if it's a western digital 8003, de0 if it's a DEC Tulip/Netgear, exp0 if it's an Intel etherexpress, and so on. Type 'dmesg' and look at the output to determine what your ethernet card shows up as, and edit rc.conf as everyone else suggested, and use the right interface name for your card. This was probably obvious, but it caused me about 15 minutes of head-scratching the first time I fired up FreeBSD, after having been a Linux and Domain/OS guy before I tried it. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Jeffrey Dunitz | *** ENRGi.com *** | orpheus@avalon.net BOFH Emeritus, Avalon Networks | Network Engineer | (651) 686-9974 / http://www.avalon.net/~orpheus | Net/Sec/Dev/Arch | Eagan, MN _ / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
