Thanks for the info. i did have a look through the rc.conf and it sure 
does look like its written the settings many times. Does anyone have a 
sample of a clean rc.conf? Also, my network assign ip's to each pc on 
the network. I noticed in the conf the ip was specified, which can 
change... is there any way of doing this in the rc.conf?
