I stumbled across the /etc/sysconfig file. (Is there documentation on stuff like this anywhere? The online FreeBSD manual doesn't have any networking chapters in it yet.) Anyway, I modified the "network_interfaces" line to include my 3com card by making that line read: network_interfaces="lo0 ep0" and added the line ifconfig_ep0="inet 202.243.53.10 netmask 0xffffff00" I got the "ep0" from the "devmenu" program. It listed the 3com device. The IP address is part of our Class C network. Anyway, it works and I can telnet out now. Questions: (1) Is this all explained somewhere? I feel luck to have just stumbled upon it. (2) What is the "lo0" device that was already there? It is not listed in devmenu. (3) How do I set my domain name server's IP address? (4) What is the "defaultdomainname" parameter that comes after the "hostname" parameter in the /etc/sysconfig file?
