Look for the network_interfaces section, and either add or modify the line to read: network_interfaces="lo0 ed1" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" ifconfig_ed1="inet 179.208.33.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" Replace with your proper netmask. If you don't have a localhost entry, you can omit it and remove the lo0 from the network_interfaces line.
