The handbook seems to only have 11.3 Core Configuration which has a little bit about cluster configurations. What's up with that? I just want to get one box online! I use the following on my rc.conf: ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.200.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.200.254 hostname=uirapuru.pinguim HTH. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: changing from dhcp to static ip, changing hostname, etc.
I forgot to say, my router is configured as a DNS proxy (probably the default in your setup, too), so I put its address on /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.200.254 man resolv.conf should enlighten you about what the search option does; I don't need it, so my whole resolv.conf file consists of that single line above. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
