Your boot message says BNC. How do you configure the > interface? Do you set the link flags specifically? I don't see Well, Nemeth et.al. describes 10BASE2 as "...coaxial cable with BNC connectors...." Maybe that's not the same "BNC." I just know it's not an RJ-45. I don't do anything except what's in rc.conf: ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. ifconfig_ep0="inet 36.33.0.163 netmask 255.255.0.0" ifconfig_ppp0="inet 36.33.0.157 netmask 255.255.255.255" > anything in the ifconfig output above.

I tried it--it didn't change anything. Thanks for the quick response. I think I will take my wire cutters to work tomorrow :) > Greg Annelise
