hostname="fbsdx.test.com"
ifconfig_lnc0="inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"

Thanks for this tip. It was very helpful
Could you please set up an .exe file to do the above procedure
I think making a .exe file with the above commands will make the job easier for repeatedly changing ip addresses
An exe file, do you have any idea about what you are saying, exe files is a windows thing.
.exe for bsd!? thanks for the good laugh ; )
lmao, maybe he meant a .bat file not .exe!
The .bat file is from windows too ;)
Friggen windows nerds with your exe and bat files. However can you create a vbs script perhaps. I like the idea of changing the IP address easily from script. vbs would be nice.
