Yeah - I have read it. when I do the ifconfig i get: vr0: flags=8843<UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20e:a6ff:..[hexidecimal ipv6 address]%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopid 0x1 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff0000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 00:0e:a6:.. [hexidecimal ipv4 address] media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active The one thing that I noticed was that the example on the website has all the addresses in non-hexcedecimal format and my output has them all in hex ipv6/4. Do I really need ipv6? If not, how do I get rid of it or does it matter? This poses a problem because I am suppose to include my IP address as per the example on the website: ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_dc1="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP" BUT these addresses are not in hexidecimal whereas my inet #s are. Any ideas what is going on here? Btw, my rc.conf file includes the following: font8x14 ="NO" font8X16 = "NO" gateway_enable="YES" inetd_enable="YES" linux_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" nfs_client_enable="YES" nfs_server_enable="YES" rpcbind_enable="YES" saver="rain" scrnmap="NO" usbd_enable="YES" sendmail_enable="YES" #ifconfig_vr0="inet6 hex address netmask 255.255.255.0" #ipv6_enable="NO" hostname= "..." ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" ppp_profile="bellnet.ca" sendmail_enable="YES" gateway_enable="YES" rpc_statd_enable="YES" tcp_extensions="YES" hostname="..." ifconfig_vr0="DHCP" Thanks! fb51 zera holladay <zera_holladay@yahoo.com> wrote: Have you read this yet? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html -zh --- aussie gal wrote: > Hi - I'm trying to configure my network card on a > newly installed freebsd 5.1. > BUT - I can get the system to come on line.
