there is no network because your present network card (xl0) is not configured. your previous system used a network card supported by the driver http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dc&sektion=4&apropos=0&manpath=O penBSD+Current&arch=i386 To find out how OpenBSD names Network cards and to set up Networking please read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Setup Your present computer uses the Network card supported by the driver http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=xl&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=O penBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html You can enable network in your computer by following these steps. 1) Create a network configuration file for xl0 interface mv /etc/hostname.dc0 /etc/hostname.xl0 2) Restart your network. sh /etc/netstart The above script should be explictly run in "sh" shell. 3) Change the macro in your pf.conf for dc0 to point to xl0. If you did not use a macro then it is a bad practice please read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/macros.html and make necessary changes to your pf.conf 4) Reload PF ruleset pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf This should get your network up and running on the new OpenBSD box :-) Don't know much about snort now but am in the process of learning! sorry :-( Kind regards Siju If I try and run "ifconfig dc0 up", I get an error about the decide > not being configured.
