I have tried manualy altering the network settings y using ifconfig, and I have also tried to use sysinstall...both ways I have met with failure. On startup my kernel gives me this: dc0 port ...irq 12 dc0 ethernet address ... dc0 MII without any PHY <------------what is this and is it significant? device_probe_and_attach:dc0 attach returned 6 the device "dc0" is not present in my dev dir, neither is ed0 or anything else that looks similar to a NIC...Why? when I use ifconfig dc0 ...it says device isn't found...why? when I try to run /stand/sysinstall it refuses to run...why? thanks for the info adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
