• FreeBSD network setup:
  In sysinstall
  • If FreeBSD is installed in Virtual PC (or another virtual desktop solutions)
    • run "ipconfig /all" (from Windows) or "ifconfig" (from Linux, or others)
      
      Take your IP address and change the last part with an unused value
      e.g. if ipconfig says that your is IP 10.222.38.5, you can use 10.222.38.100
      
      Use this value as IPv4 Address
      
      
    • Take the gateway address from "ipconfig in Windows" or "route in Linux".
      
      Use this value as IPv4 Gateway
      
      
    • Take the DNS server address from "ipconfig in Windows" or "cat /etc/resolv.conf in Linux".
      
      Use the first value as Nameserver
      
      You can add the other DNS server adresses into FreeBSD' s "/etc/resolv.conf" file after exiting sysinstall.
      
      
  • If FreeBSD is installed onto a home computer connected to a ADSL modem
    • Get IP address of your modem, it starts with "192.168." and ends with ".1" (e.g. 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.2.1)
      
      Use this value as IPv4 Gateway
      
      
    • take this IP address and change the last part with an unused value
      e.g. if ipconfig says that your is IP 10.222.38.5, you can use 10.222.38.100
      
      Use this value as IPv4 Address
