The network settings are usually in the rc.conf file in /etc/. For DHCP, you should have the line

ifconfig_interface="DHCP"

where *interface* is the given nic you are using - in other words, it is *not* the word interface.
If you are trying to set a static IP addy and gateway, then your rc.conf file should have entries that look like:


defaultrouter="x.x.x.x"
ifconfig_interface="inet x.x.x.x  netmask x.x.x.x"

I am new to FreeBSD. I am evaluating it as a possible replacement for my
in house desktops and ultimately a replacement for my redhat Internet
server.

I installed 4.9 without a hitch and decided to go ahead and install 5.2 in
order to avoid potential upgrade issues mentioned on the BSD wed site.

I am having problems with internet connection sharing. The computer is
seeing my network but is not seeing the Internet through my gateway
computer. I think that I may have incorrectly entered the gateway IP
during install. I have checked the FAQ and HandBook for the name and
location of the file that contains the Gateway IP with no success.

Can you please help me locate this file so I can confirm my settings.

Thanks
