Hi People l downloaded FreeBSD 6.3 the other day out of curiosity.. The installation started ok but it all went wrong when it came to connecting to the internet through my wired router http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html l'm really not sure what entries to put in fig 2-29 that will allow my connection. My email address is g7mjv@btinternet.com My router's address is 192.168.1.1 and running ifconfig on my linux machine gives the following: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:6C:E2:58:25 inet addr:192.168.1.4 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::201:6cff:fee2:5825/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5894 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4431375 (4.2 MB) TX bytes:616025 (601.5 KB) Interrupt:20 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:5380 (5.2 KB) TX bytes:5380 (5.2 KB) Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Andy - Salisbury, UK
