Ah I see you were mentioning it. You'd better choose 2 (9), 5, 10,11(!caution, SCSI controllers live there),12. > > If anyone could possibly tell me the exact files I might need to edit to /etc/myname should contain your hostname /etc/hosts put your IP hostname in there (the usual way) /etc/netstart put your correct ifconfig line there. There are versions of FreeBSD that look for a file /etc/hostname.ed0 (or ed1). Put the args of an appropriate ifconfig command into that file. route -n add default 157.89.8.64 If you want bind lookup create a file /etc/resolv.conf containing domain acs.eku.edu nameserver 157.89.?.? And last: /etc/host.conf defines the lookup order of name resolution. > get this to work for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
