At that point the two amber lights for that system light up on the hub - Yeah!


Altered rc.conf as follows
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Dec 1 22:00:04 2002
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
# added this line after manual invoking of rl1 using ifconfig
ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"

I have given both NICs the same address because they are both on the same machine - is this right or wrong?
