Yes, that is what I tried to do but my interface doesn't come up in the

isnt is /stand/sysinstall, post install config, network, pick yer =
interface,
answer yes to the dhcp popup, thats it?

BTW, if it asks you if you want to activate now, that typically will not =
get
you the new parameters on the interface, youll need to either ifconfig =
it
down and then up, or reboot as a quik& dirty way.
