I have a Win98/BSD3.2 machine with 2 GB for each partition. 1)(From Verifying the Ethernet Interface Configuration) Reminder: If your Ethernet card isn't named 'ed0', specify the correct device name here instead. My question: How can I find the correct device name if Ethernet isn't yet configured (and not displayed with ifconfig -a)? 2) Will I run into problems if I use the example IP addresses in the Primer for Creating the List of LAN hosts (in the /etc/hosts directory) for my hosts? Thanks for your time. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
