What should I do? > Thanks Hello, I'm relatively new to FreeBSD but afaik, if whatever is connecting this computer/your network to the internet is functioning properely (windows machine running ICS or one of those boxed gateways) *and* DHCP didn't work (the setup couldn't auto-detect IP your 'IPv4 Address'), the following settings *should* work: Host: myhost ; (just entering a non fully qualified name should be ok here, eg. 'computer1') Domain: ; (just leave this blank) IPv4 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Name Server: 192.168.0.1 IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.** ; (where '**' is a number >= 2 and <= 255, something in the middle *should* be safe, but you should try to pick a number no other machine on your network is using) Netmask: 255.255.255.0 alternately, you might have to try: Host: myhost ; (just entering a non fully qualified name should be ok here, eg. 'computer1') Domain: ; (just leave this blank) IPv4 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Name Server: 192.168.1.1 IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.** ; (where '**' is a number >= 2 and <= 255, something in the middle *should* be safe, but you should try to pick a number no other machine on your network is using) Netmask: 255.255.255.0 if this doesn't work, it's possible your internet gateway isn't working or configured correctly, and I'd suggest reading the documentation, and if possible enable the DHCP server if it has one. hope that helps, good luck -- Jeff Leveille - quasi programmer type guy Luke the Jedi: 'but master Yoda, you told I me must unlearn what I have learned, it doesn't seem to be helping...'
