From what you say in c) below, it looks like rc.conf wasn't written properly. It should look something like this.. network_interfaces="lo0 de0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is # loopback). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_de0="inet 203.56.180.200 netmask 255.255.255.0" > Yep but it don't!??

I'm not that familiar with ppp -auto usage however, see http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/. > c) I did notice in the light grey booting section that it said... > can't fiind tun0, lo0,de0 > d) The netcard is not currently connected to my LAN Not a big deal, it should ifconfig anyway.
