I noticed, however, that I have a different netmask setting. Instead of 255.255.255.0 , what's in there for all my other IP addresses (that my Unix admin set up while he was still around!) is 255.255.255.192. Is this correct? The IP address range is also different; my ISP gave me a new range of IP addresses. Are there any other file or files or settings that need to be changed in addition to the /etc/rc.conf file? Thank you for all of your help!
