The file that you want to edit is /etc/rc.conf (/etc/sysconfig on pre 2.2.2). The following assumes that you have a class C address; if not, change the netmask entry. network_interfaces="lo0 ed1" # List of network interfaces. ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_ed1="inet 203.11.114.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ### Network routing options: ### defaultrouter="203.11.114.5" # Set to default gateway (or NO). Reboot and a netstat "-rn" should show something similar to Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 203.11.114.1 UGSc 33 33147 ed1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 1490 lo0 -- Regards, Norman C.
