Without the specific changes that you have made to your rc.conf, it's hard to guess what the problem could be. You see, almost anything that can be configured in a FreeBSD system has some nice hook in rc.conf! Actually, you can return the systyem to a fairly "basic" configuration, by setting your rc.conf to contain: network_interfaces="lo0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" hostname="YOUR.HOST.NAME.HERE" firewall_enable="NO" You'll probably need to add some more stuff to the network_interfaces for your other network cards / interfaces, but I can't help with that. Then, copying the lines that you need to modify from the usual place, i.e. /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and modifying their copy in rc.conf is the easiest way to get things set up for you. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
