I'd like to see 1) if you got the changes to take effect, 2) what status the nic reports, 3) whether there are any conflicting routes: please send the output from 'ifconfig -A', 'netstat -rnfinet'. And throw in a 'dmesg' for good measure. > inet 192.168.111.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.111.255 > inet 192.168.111.1 255.255.255.0 NONE These are equivalent, as is the lesser-known "don't blame me if netstart or ifconfig changes and it breaks" '192.168.111.1 prefixlen 24' (without specifying the address family, the whole line is passed to ifconfig). Using NONE is a little easier/safer than explicitly setting the broadcast address but won't make a difference if it's set correctly.
