I can't ping at all- it spits out "unrecognized command". I would never have believed it, but it seems that the tool isn't installed (and won't be until I can get apt-get to connect). Sorry I didn't mention it in the original email. I'm in Debian Sid right now, but here's what the file contains: # Sample /etc/network/interfaces file for GNU/kFreeBSD
auto lo0 iface lo0 inet loopback # DHCP network (replace ed0 with your interface, if different) #auto ed0 #iface ed0 inet dhcp # Static network (replace ed0 with your interface, if different) #auto ed0 #iface ed0 inet static # address 192.168.0.3 # network 192.168.0.0 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # gateway 192.168.0.1 I'm such a noob. I need to uncomment the DHCP section, don't I ? 2008/11/1, John Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Robert Hayes wrote: >> >> hi, i'm just now starting with Debian GNU/kfreebsd and I've already >> run into a problem.
