1) About the ethernet card, what brandname is it? Some have jumpers. Some do not. For the cards with no jumpers, they usually come with a MSDOS program that will set the irq/port using software. This is kinda like CMOS on a PC (where your drive-types are stored) You will have to reboot your FreeBSD box, and boot off an MSDOS floppy. then run this "MSDOS SOFTWARE CONFIGURABLE CARD PROGRAM" then reboot back to FreeBSD. Also, you can view what FreeBSD is looking for by putting the kernel in debug mode. boot: hd(0,a)/kernel -c Then you can do a ls to view the different hardware settings currently being probed. You can change what addresses are to we probed, then hit 'q' to exit the "debug" mode... 2) About the X windows stuff. You need to install a port. example : cd /usr/ports/x11/x3270 make make install make clean rehash x3270 (if in X windows, should start up!!!) -deanj -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Jeffrey D.
