Can you manually start it ala: ifconfig rl0 inet 172.16.5.20 netmask 255.255.0.0 (pick your own IP range if you like) If manually starting it works, review your rc.conf settings. If you can't find anything wrong, post your rc.conf to the list and we'll take a gander at it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
