Peter, use ifconfig to setup your own ip adress, e.g. ifconfig ec0 111.222.333.444 *your-hostname* netmask *your-netmask* (this one goes in /etc/netstart) configure the loopback interface and the default gateway : route add 111.222.333.444 localhost route add default 111.222.333.1 (both at the bottom of /etc/netstart) for DNS name resolution, edit /etc/resolv.conf domain we.like.internet nameserver 111.222.333.x nameserver 111.222.333.y .... you don't have to bother with getting named running if you have nameservers which will do the job of name resolution for you.
