Hi Andrzei, I tried a line or two in oinit.rc but got no joy... I used ifconfig de0 inet 10.1.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 Either the line was too 'complex' or I goofed somehow in getting oinit.rc into the right place to be executed. More info on setting it up would be good .. (BTW I dont have a memory shortage as I am recycling an old desktop Pentium-S with 32Meg of ram still onboard) cheers Murray Taylor Project Manager Bytecraft Systems Pty Ltd ph: +61 3 9587 2555 Fax: +61 3 9587 1614 Email: taylorm@bytecraftsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Andrzej Bialecki <abial@webgiro.com> To: Bruce R.
