I don't believe that FreeBSD supports the automatic 10/100 mode. As to assigning a different IP address, try adding something similar to the following to your /etc/rc.conf (sysconfig for older versions). ifconfig_vx0="inet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ed1="inet YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY netmask 255.255.255.0" where `XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' and `YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY' are the IP addresses you want your system to have. You may need to adjust the netmask to satisfy subnetting requirements. -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
