Everything was working fine until I accidentally deleted my /etc/rc.conf file. ARGH!! (Sorry Svend!) I've put everything I can think off back into rc.conf but I'm still having problems. Firstly when I boot the boot sequence freezes at this step: starting standard daemons: inetd cron sendmail I can only get the boot sequence to keep going if I press CTRL-C. I have a gol DSL connection using a router-type modem. I used to be able to ping my router but no more ... Here's a copy of my rc.conf file. Can anyone think of what's missing? pccard_enable="YES" gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" natd_interface="ed2" natd_enable="YES" natd_flags="-dynamic" firewall_script="/etc/firewall/rules.conf" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_ed1="DHCP" ifconfig_ed2="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="172.25.0.1" hostname="pc98150.jc.com" _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
