Rimmer" writes: > ifconfig -a results: > ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 You should have two lines here with the IP and MAC addresses, something like: ed0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 01:23:45:67:89:ab (the actual numbers on the second line will of course be different) If these lines are missing, make sure you have the appropriate entries in /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="lo0 ed0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00" If that is indeed the problem, you can fix it by typing the following as root: # ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 (but remember to add the appropriate lines to /etc/rc.conf as well) -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
