I changed /etc/rc.conf to reflect the interface should now DHCP and removed the static IP entry. Now when I ifconfig -a the interface It shows 2 IP addresses. The old one I had manually put there and the one it DHCP'd for. I have removed the entries from rc.conf for the static IP. Can anyone suggest where it might be coming from? I am using FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. please respond directly as I am not on the mailing list. Thanks -- Ray Hicks http://nullroute.co.uk
