I've been trying for many hours, unsuccessfully, to have my installation of FreeBSD 2.2.5 get an IP address dynamically. It's ethernet card -- an SMC WD8003 8-bit -- is recognized. The machine is on an ethernet with some WinNT machines (not that that should make a big difference). I assume that I need an IP address of some sort in the command line of IFCONFIG. What that address should be is a mystery. During the initial boot-up, it reports that the network is unreachable and the lights on the card show that it never transmits. Is there something I missed in the installation? Thanks. Patrick O'Malley Machine Intelligence Laboratory University of Florida http://www.mil.ufl.edu
