I just did this the other day. There are two ways to do it, static IP in NWAM or the old default way, and I used the old default, but I hear both work. The other thing is you probably have to edit /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf (copy /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf, specifically). Obviously this is a glitch in the automation and in the documentation that should be taken care of. > [I'm getting too frustrated with this and that, and sometimes I swear for > swaping openfiler for opensolaris when all I want is a nice NAS but with a > usable/understandable gui] Taking on a full-blown server environment that you're not familiar with (*I'm* not terribly either, you understand) is a big commitment. And I'm not sure I made the right decision either. But...ZFS. That's what got me started and that's what keeps me going. Snapshots. Replicated metadata even on non-redundant pools. Block checksums. Background scrub. None of the simple cheap solutions give me ANY of those. (I do have a bit of a wistful fondness for the Drobo, though; I might have been happy with that set of tradeoffs.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
