It's been running pretty well, except for a few errors, which I believe are caused by the network setup. Here's the deal, I usually use the laptop as a stand alone desktop environment not connected to my school's network. When I do connect to the network through DHCP, it works fine. But when I'm not connected, I get one error during boot up where it says it cannot assign localhost or something to that effect, and then it hangs for a long time. I usually just press Ctrl+C to cancel it so that it can continue with the bootup process. Another error I get is when I'm starting KDE. If I'm connected to the network, it runs fine, but if I'm not connected, I get an error: Could not read network connection list /root/.DCOPserver_myhostname:0 It also says to make sure the DCOP Server is running. I have to try to login to KDE several times before I do not get this error. I don't want FreeBSD to think its always supposed to be connected to the network. Even if I had to do some special procedure to have it recognize when I am on the network, that would be fine, as long as I don't have to do much when I'm not on the network. Can anyone help? Thanks -Anant ------=_NextPart_000_0010_01C18299.ABE05EE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
