Reply-to: junkmale@xtra.co.nz X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Tonight I helped a chap out getting his network card running. He couldn't get ifconfig to show an IP address. He claimed to be doing everything in the manual. I suggested he do the following manually: ifconfig ed0 192.168.0.98 255.255.255.0 >From then, it worked. Is this a step which must be first done manually? -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
