You may need to provide more details.

I use DSL with NetBSD.

I do two things in my /etc/rc.conf:

I set ifconfig_fxp0 to my IP as assigned by my internet provider. (fxp0 is 
my network interface.)

I set defaultroute to the IP for the default gateway as provided by my 
internet provider.

And I setup my /etc/resolv.conf to point to my nameserver.


How do you get setup with "the pc"?? Do you use dhcp?
