Because you don't hear anything? 1) Make sure you have a sound driver loaded. To see if ou have a sound driver loaded, try 'cat /dev/sndstat'. If that returns 'No such file or directory' there is indeed no sound driver loaded. I'm not sure is the 4232 is supported. Grepping through the sound driver sources, I see the following CS chips: CS4281, CS4610/CS4611, CS4280/CS4614/CS4622/CS4624/CS4630, CS4615 No 4232 to be found. 2) IIRC, the output volume is set to 0 when you first load a sound driver. You can change that with the 'mixer' program, e.g. 'mixer vol 50'. > 3. The network I try to build is just a small LAN at home, > with computers 192.168.0.1 (my 2.2GHz) and .2 (my 600E) > involved.

Add the IP addresses with the corresponding hostnames to /etc/hosts on both machines, and check that /etc/nsswitch.conf contains a line 'hosts: files dns', so that the names can be resolved to IP addresses. To chare files between the two PCs, set up an NFS share on the desktop that you can mount on the laptop.

You don't have to rebuild the kernel to get sound working. kldloading the right module should be enough. You can find the available modules with [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ls /boot/kernel/snd_* /boot/kernel/snd_ad1816.ko/boot/kernel/snd_maestro3.ko /boot/kernel/snd_als4000.ko /boot/kernel/snd_mss.ko /boot/kernel/snd_cmi.ko /boot/kernel/snd_neomagic.ko /boot/kernel/snd_cs4281.ko/boot/kernel/snd_sb16.ko /boot/kernel/snd_csa.ko /boot/kernel/snd_sb8.ko /boot/kernel/snd_driver.ko/boot/kernel/snd_sbc.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ds1.ko /boot/kernel/snd_solo.ko /boot/kernel/snd_emu10k1.ko /boot/kernel/snd_t4dwave.ko /boot/kernel/snd_es137x.ko/boot/kernel/snd_uaudio.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ess.ko /boot/kernel/snd_via8233.ko /boot/kernel/snd_fm801.ko /boot/kernel/snd_via82c686.ko /boot/kernel/snd_ich.ko /boot/kernel/snd_vibes.ko /boot/kernel/snd_maestro.ko I don't know your laptop and therefore don't know which module you need, but dmesg could give you a clue. kldload snd_driver will load all sound modules, hopefully one of them will attach. > 2.

"TCP/IP Network Administration" and "The Complete FreeBSD" both from O'Reilly are good. I wouldn't call them essential, but reading them won't hurt. I suppose you already know about the FreeBSD handbook. > 3. The network I try to build is just a small LAN at home, > with computers 192.168.0.1 (my 2.2GHz) and .2 (my 600E) > involved.

Sound on Thinkpad and Networking questions
Hi, the newbie Lars here again - still working on NOT being a newbie soon...! ;) New problems with FreeBSD 5.4 on my IBM Thinkpad 600E: 1. I try to get the sound to work, but I never manage to make! I have tried to recompile the kernel, as described in the FreeBSD Handbook I chapter 8. First I found a website dedicated to Thinkpad600E and FreeBSD 4.7, but the lines presented there didn't work. Instead I went to chapter 7 in the handbook where it describes how I will change the kernel to work with a Crystal 4232 Soundcard, so I guess I got the right lines for the kernel. But when it comes to building the kernel it says that it doesn't know devices with the names pcm or csa. So, I am kind of stuck... HELP! 2. To learn networking I have connected the Thinkpad to my 2.2Ghz Intel-machine, but I must admit that still has too less knowledge about networking. I have configured the network cards so I can now ping both computers, but I need to know more - does anyone have any suggestions about essential reading (books, websites, other) about networking FreeBSD/Linux/Windows? 3. The network I try to build is just a small LAN at home, with computers 192.168.0.1 (my 2.2GHz) and .2 (my 600E) involved. Could I give them other names? Could I be use Terminal or Konqueror to reach them from each other?
