Now the card is working fine. Her is what I did : I change the line in rc.conf: ifconfig_sis0="inet 20.20.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="20.20.20.1" sendmail_enable="NO" Then I made a script that I put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the name card.sh ifconfig sis0 inet 20.20.20.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX route add default 20.20.20.1 /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m then reboot the computer and it should work I disable sendmail in rc.conf, because the computer hangs a little time while booting. Then I restart sendmail in my script. I hope it will work for you as it does for me :-) -- Essetee -- Roeselare -- Belgium http://users.pandora.be/serge.terryn MSN : Essetee@hotmail.com -- ICQ : 763290 FreeBSD, The Power To Serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
