Hello,
I am familiar with Linux and I am new to FreeBSD.
I have looked through the handbook, Networking FAQs, and perhaps my
question is to basic.
At Install time, I did not configure the network on the FreeBSD system.
Thinking that all I would need to do is edit rc.network, but that is not
turning out as easy as I thought it would be.
All I want to do is specify the IP, Network, Broadcast, an default gateway
of the machine!
What needs to be specified in the rc.conf/network files?
I tried to manually issue the command
ifconfig ed0 IP.addess bradcast ip.broadcast netowrk ip.network
and I got an error message that device ed0 did not exist.
Do I have to recompile the kernel?
thanks
Marcelo
