Very Computer

Hello.

I am working with FreeBSD 2.1.6. After installing, I am having  some
networking problems. I try to ping a host on my network, and I am
getting an error message - "no route to host".

Is this a symptom of a mis-configured network card? I have a 3Com
3C90X. In the Userconfig utility, I saw no mention of this card - only
the 3C50X. Are these cards alike enough to operate with the same
driver?

Is there any way of starting up the Userconfig utility than entering
-c at the boot prompt?

Thanks

Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

Thanks for your help. After a bit of fiddling, I found that manually
entering 'ifconfig vx0 {my IP address} got the thing working.

Now - how to make this happen automatically at boot?

network_interfaces="lo0 vx0"
...
ifconfig_vx0="inet {my IP address}"

Thanks a lot. That did it.
