I don't know if you want to access your FreeBSD system from ONLY the LAN, or if you want some access through your router. I prefer a static IP on my FreeBSD systems as they are all providing some server functions (file sharing, DNS, etc.) Below are typical lines you would have in your /etc/rc.conf: ============================================================== #set the default router to your router's IP, often 192.168.1.1 defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" #set your hostname to match the enty in /etc/hosts hostname="myhostname.mydomainname.com" #set your IP to one not in any DHCP range ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" ============================================================== These are all you need to get it working. If you want the FreeBSD to have a LAN address but access through the router you need to set that up in your router. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
