Re: Connecting to internet.
Thanks so much Helge. Tried this and everything is working fine now. Regards Chris Saunders Works very simple: In sysinstall, when you configure your network card, you simply answer 'yes' to the question whether you want to use DHCP. In my case, that sets the gateway to the internet correctly, and everything works out of the box, at home and in my office. I don't know about something such as adsl-setup though. Best bet is to choose a provider whose ADSL-modem functions as a DHCP server, i think.

Connecting to internet.
Just installed FreeBSD and it seems everything went fine. I have also recently installed Slackware Linux and it seems to have automatically set itself up to connect to the internet. I have had a look in the FreeBSD Handbook (not too deeply), but didn't see a section on getting connected. I'm hoping that someone could either give me either a method or a direction in the documentation.

Re: Connecting to internet.
Thanks for the reply Ruben (and others). I did see these sections when having a cursory look at the docs but was hoping for something simpler. On some older versions of Linux that I have installed there was a program called adsl-setup that I used to get connected. I thought FreeBSD would have something similar and I was just not finding it. Thanks again.
