Hi FREEBSD ... COULD SOMEONE THERE PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS !!! ________________________________________________________ From: Sandel, David on Tue, Apr 23, 1996 2:59 PM To: Tech Support FREEBSD Hi --- I am runnig FreeBSD 2.1 on a PC. When I first installed it I could not get the network running because it had a3COM 3C590 card in it which FreeBSD does not have a driver for. SOOO .... I put in a older 3C509 card. Then I had an IRQ conflict with another device using irq 10. So I reset the card to irq 12. This worked ... except now .... when I ran /stand/sysinstall to do the network setup ... when I select the INTERFACE screen it doesnt come up. THe screen will momentarliy flicker and then go back to its previous menu !!!!!! HMMMM ... so I just went back into the system and tried pinging a device ... the system said ... no route available ... SOOOOO .... I ran ifconfig .... put in an address, netmaak and broadcast address. Then tried a ping .... and IT WORKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT .... If I telnet to another device it IS SO SLOW .. I could wait for three or four minutes for FreeBSD To logon to the other device !!! What is wrong here ???????? Can I just finish the configuration manually , what commands do I use to propoerly set the address and gateway ???? ALSO --- I want to use FreeBSD as a bootp server .... what directory and files do I need to know about. Also .... I want to use FreeBSD as a tftp server .... what directory and what type of account do I need to have setup. Thanks ..... Dave Sandel 314-552-2772
