Cable Net Installed

[GhostDawg]

I was using dialup and had it working but now I've got cable internet and need to get that going.

The 3com nic is recgonized but when I type ifconfig up I get an error message saying Not a Command or something like that.

Any suggestions on getting it working?

Thnx.

you need to specify the interface, 3 coms are xl I believe. If you just have one nic try 'ifconfig xl0 up'

You can always find out what your card was detected as by running dmesg as well.

Like my 3com came up as

xl0 at pci2 dev 12 function 0 "3com 3c905c 100Base-TX" rev .......

Thanks guys, I got it up & running. And mine is xl0. I just needed to add the command, ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf and all is working fine.
