After much hairpulling and eyegouging, I still haven't got my network or X up on my freeBSD 1.02ish machine.(dec. 1993 release on CDROM). I have a 486/33SX with 16meg of ram, 420 meg IDE as Drive C, Toshiba 538B 1.2 gig as drive D(on an Adaptec 1542C scsi card). I am also using an NEC 3x cd rom and a 1 meg Diamond stealth card. The network card is an NE2000 clone (Accton). The X starts to start (flashes the screen 4 times) and then dies with a "probable Kill client". The network cannot ping any of my other machines or even itself unless I ifconfig it from the command line, and then only itself. I have modified the files (I think) that are relevant to this, but I am not sure. I am a DOS/NOVELL/OS2/Windows/NT junky and haven't run any of the PC flavors of unix before, with only a bit of background in Solaris. What are all of the files I need to modify for X and the network. And if possible, what is the Xconfig file for a microsoft mouse and an S3 1 meg video card with a 101 AT keyboard. Any help at all would be apprecciated. thanx jeff jfulford@bridge.com fnord@portal.com
