Recently I just install it on an computer in my office. The configuration of my computer is pentinum 200; RAM 32M; Hard disk 4G; 3Com EtherLink III ISA in ISA mode network card. The procedure of install is that I: I ftp the all set of release2.2.7 from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/freebsd/release2.2.7 and save them in C: II: then I fdisk the hard disk to D: and begin to install the freebsd by boot floppy disk. III: just follow the instruction and finish the configuration. The problem is I can not figuer out the network. I got my computer's IP address, Name server, subnet mask, gateway, but how to fill the ifconfig in that form? I read the help but it does not give me enough information. After reboot, it seems that every damon is starting. No error message. I can just ping myself but not outside even gateway. What wrong with it and could you give me some hint of how to set up the ethercard. Thanks so much in advanced yours sincerely Lin Ge To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
