Hi People
l downloaded FreeBSD 6.3 the other day out of curiosity..
The installation started ok but it all went wrong when it
came to
connecting to the internet through my wired router
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8
859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html
l'm really not sure what entries to put in fig 2-29 that
will allow my
connection.
My email address is g7mjv btinternet.com
My router's address is 192.168.1.1 and running ifconfig on
my linux
machine gives the following:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:6C:E2:58:25

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated

If your router works like most do (and it appears that it
does from the IP your
linux box is getting), all you need to do is put this into
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
(or rerun sysinstall and configure your ethernet card to do
dhcp.)
# sysinstall
Choose Configure/Networking/Interfaces and set your NIC to
do dhcp.

You're reading the handbook. That's a very good start.

Most routers will have a DHCP server running to hand out
addresses and such.
When it asks 'Do you want to try DHCP configuration of the
interface?'
Just say 'yes'.
Use the IP address of your router as the gateway address.

If you don't know what network hardware you have, use alt-F4
to switch
to a shell and give the command 'dmesg | grep Ethernet'. On
my machine
this gives;
rl0: Ethernet address: 00:1e:23:2f:1b:g1
indicating that I have hardware using the rl(4) driver.

Hmmm, he doesn't need to select DHCP (or maybe he already
has) since the
interface (eth0) already has an assigned IP address on
192.168.1.0
network (192.168.1.4). Can you ping the router's IP address
('ping
192.168.1.1')? If so then you need to look at your router's
external
IP address (the one that is actually visible to the Internet
via your
ISP provided IP address).

See the problem with your statement? :p

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the
modules
and never get to the software part.

I see, the info is from his Linux box. So he either needs
to ifconfig
his interface on FreeBSD or enable DHCP to get it assigned.
My bad,
Patrick
