i got a littol problem with internet conection configuration in freebsd. there is a router in dhcp with sharing all togehter 4 computers. i dont want freebsd to dhcp server but client and just simply want to connect.
thks

rc.conf all you need.

%ifconfig
------------------------------
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:0d:88:39:fa:5f
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
------------------------------
#vi /etc/rc.conf
------------------------------
gateway_enable="YES"
hostname="gateway.example.com"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0"
------------------------------

man rc.conf

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1...work-setup.html

log into Freebsd as root or SU into root.

type in 'sysinstall'

from there go to configuration, and the rest should be straightforward.

you can try this or what the guy above me wrote. I just find 'sysinstall' easier since you don't have to edit anything.
