I guessing but in rc.conf you generally have to set: network_interfaces="lo0 ed1" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.0.98 netmask 255.255.255.0" Did you add ed1 to network_interfaces? I do not know if all version of FreeBSD require that, but at least some do. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@litzinger.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
