fxp0 is your network card
The `fxp' device provides support for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI
Fast Ethernet adapters.

from the command line do an " ifconfig -a " and that will tell you all your
running NICS..

Most likely it looks like you have the cofiguration for your network card
wrong.  Do the " ifconfig -a" to find out with network card is the one you
are currently using. It will look something like this

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.0.0.255
       ether 00:50:04:74:8d:33
        media: 100baseTX <half-duplex>
        supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
<half-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>
10baseT/UTP
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

In this case xl0 is my Network Card and in your case it should be ether fxp0
or something else..

Hope that helps you some...

Subject: what is fxp0?


In my natd setup, natd_interface = fxp0.  What the hell is fxp0?

When I run /etc/rc.firewall, I get this error message:

ipfw: warning: interface "fxp0" does not exist.

Also, how do I determine the current setting of natd_interface is I am
running bash?

Thanks for you help,

Don James
