Kevin, First, we need to see the info from ifconfig -a. This will tell you if the machine has even received an IP from the LinkSys. Of course there are other such items you may be missing; /etc/resolv.conf among others. Try ifconfig first and see if you are on the network. Then if not, try a simple # dhclient for example dhclient fxp0. -Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
