Subject: First time network configuration


Good Morning,

I am doing a first time installation of NetBSD 1.5.2, and I'm having
difficulty with configuring my NIC and network settings.

The install process allowed me to specify the adapter, IP address, and =
other
parameters. However, the computer cannot communicate over the network.

Investigating the documentation I found indicates I should have a file
called /etc/ipconfig.XXX (where XXX is my NIC device name) and a file
/etc/netstart. My system has neither of these files.

The documentation seems to assume my system already has those files. I =
would
like to find a howto or other information on how to create or obtain =
those
files and any others I may need to put this computer on my network. I am
using static IP addresses and connect to the Internet through a router.

Thanks,

Joe Magee
