Thanks Not quite, ifconfig_interface="inet ip.address.here netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="gateways.ip.address" network_interfaces="interface lo0" hostname="myhost.mydomain.org" Where 'interface' is the name of the interface, like ed0, de0, or fxp0, etc., and the rest are self-explaintory. You can also do the configuration in /stand/sysinstall and fill in the blanks. -- Crist J.
