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.ISO8859-1/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 at 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          inet

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
