Can you tell me how to set my interface up manually so that it will use DHCP for the ip and netmask, gateway, etc.?

Afterward, edit /etc/rc.conf to reflect reality. You'll have lines like these to change: hostname="sheol.localdomain" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.16.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" What you'll change is the hostname (if need be), and ifconfig_ed0 to ifconfig_dc0. IIRC, that's all it takes. > I > apologize for the ignorance but I am very new to all this. I basically just > went step-by-step through the FreeBSD manual on installation. There was no > option that said dc(4). I don't remember how to specify the interface within sysinstall(8), but I'm sure you can (make sure you've resolved conflicting interrupts first). I usually set up the network manually, after sysinstall(8), just to stay in practice! > Thanks again, > Thomas P.
