After making the entry you can d= o /etc/netstart to keep from rebooting. Are you running a dhcp server, that is pushing the gateway IP and dns serve= r ip's out to the wireless network or just hand config?? =A0 Yes, my dhcp server which is this same FreeBSD server with the wireless NIC= is pushing the gateway IP address 192.168.0.254 =A0 This is my /etc/rc.conf file =A0 hostname=3D"FreeBSD13.mydomain.com" gateway_enable=3D"YES" ifconfig_bge0=3D"DHCP" inetd_enable=3D"YES" nfs_client_enable=3D"YES" nfs_server_enable=3D"YES" rpcbind_enable=3D"YES" sshd_enable=3D"YES" wlans_ral0=3Dwlan0 create_args_wlan0=3D"wlanmode hostap mode 11g" ifconfig_wlan0=3D"inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid freebsdap c= hannel 11" sendmail_enable=3D"NO" natd_interface=3D"wlan0" =A0 The wireless laptop is seeing the FreeBSD server and is connecting and gett= ing an IP address.
