Hi, Please do *not* type things out of memory, but be precise, specific and provide as much detail as possible when asking questions like this. I'm sure there is no "6_RELENG" branch in our sources, so you can't have used that. > And after installing the world in single user mode, I tried to > boot into newly installed kernel, everything seems to be fine > except that there is no internet connection.

It is always a very good idea to show us the *exact* lines you have edited. Exactly as they appear in your system configuration files. Again, there are errors in the description above that may confuse anyone trying to help you out. For instance, there is no "FIREWALL=yes" setting for `/etc/rc.conf'. There is a setting that is called `firewall_enable', but this is a different option because capitalization and the exact name of the options in rc.conf do matter... Can you repost your question and include the precise changes you have made to your system configuration, please? If enabling the firewall has locked you out of the machine or has made it impossible to access the network from the machine, then it may help a bit if you disable all sorts of firewalling from your machine and simply reboot. To disable all known firewalls, add the following to your `/etc/rc.conf' file: firewall_enable="NO" pf_enable="NO" ipfilter_enable="NO" Regards, Giorgos
