thanks for helping damian..i did everything you gave me but it still doesn't
seem to work..
here is what i have after doing everything, and typing ifconfig
dc0: flags:88c3 <UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, NOARP, SIMPLEX, MULICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff::fee1: 8be5%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 10.0.1 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 10.0.0.3
ether 00:a0:cc:e1:8be5
media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP
status: active
tun0: flags=8051 <UP, POINTTOPOINT, RUNNING, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80:2a0:ccff:fee1: 8be5%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7
opened by PID 54
thats all i get..shouldn't i have an IP address somewhere other than the
10.0.0.1..on windows i used to have 192.168.0.110(it will change since its
dynamic) , but it only shows the 10.0.0.1 one..on another computer in the
same home network, i got this info:
netmask = 255.255.255.0
default gateway = 192.168.0.1
DNS server = 198.235.216.114 and 207.236.176.12
to see if it had worked i tried pinging an address of another computer on
the network and it just froze at the first "ping <ADDRESS> blahblah 56"
(something like taht)..
what wrong?
thanks again
alexis
