Hi, I'm using FreeBsd 5.3 and I'm switching to a static ip, but am not sure of all the syntax. If not, here's what I had in my rc.conf. hostname="john" ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" now I'm hoping to have a hostname of bagus.org gateway of 204.251.1.185 ip address of 204.251.1.186 netmask of 255.255.255.248 I'm guessing I need to change my resolve.conf, too. what does the 'search' line in there do? Any other considerations? Thanks, Bagus p.s. I can't for the life of me find a simple how-to-get-your-freebsd-box-online guide. The handbook seems to only have "11.3 Core Configuration" which has a little bit about cluster configurations. What's up with that? I just want to get one box online!
