DutchDaemon Administrator Staff member Administrator Moderator Developer Jul 15, 2009 #2 The DNS servers are in /etc/resolv.conf, the default gateway is set in /etc/rc.conf (defaultrouter=), the NIC is set in /etc/rc.conf (ifconfig_). resolver(5) rc.conf(5) /etc/defaults/rc.conf (do not edit!) ifconfig(8) And, as always: The Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html The [cmd=]dmesg -a[/cmd] command should give you the name of your nic, e.g. xl0, fxp0, be0, em0, etc. Maybe it's already in [cmd=]ifconfig -a[/cmd].
