Hi,

I'm using FreeBsd 5.3 and I'm switching to a static ip, but am not sure of
all the syntax.

If not, here's what I had in my rc.conf.
hostname="john"
ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP"

now I'm hoping to have a

hostname of  bagus.org
gateway of 204.251.1.185
ip address of 204.251.1.186
netmask of 255.255.255.248

I'm guessing I need to change my resolve.conf, too. what does the 'search'
line in there do?

Any other considerations?

Thanks,

Bagus

p.s. I can't for the life of me find a simple
how-to-get-your-freebsd-box-online guide. The handbook seems to only have
"11.3 Core Configuration" which has a little bit about cluster
configurations. What's up with that? I just want to get one box online!
