The standard way to do this on the command line is "ifconfig <if> inet <IP address> up" (the up is isn't required the first time you bring it up). To make it happen on startup, add the appropriate entries to /etc/rc.conf. If you're not sure what those are, read /etc/defaults/rc.conf (whoops - that's assuming you're running a recent freebsd; otherwise you have to work on /etc/rc.conf directly). <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
