ifconfig says this if you already have another interface with an ip-address in the same range. I think you have another interface on your system with an 192.168.2.X ip address. Remove the address from the other interface and try again. grtz, Daan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
