After a couple of re-installs, I was able to self ssh connect to the FreeBSD box. This I notice was possible by turning off "named" in rc.conf. Sadly, without this enabled I find I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have narrowed the fault down to ssh from mac os x because I could connect from ssh client on windoz. On mac os x I get same message [ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.5 port 22: Permission denied] when the freebsd box is switched on or OFF!! I guess I will have to try mac lists for a solution. pota
