I just tried to use gbsd 4.0 rc2 from usb with a new copy. It booted once into the livecd mode i had a wired connection active but couldnt surf the internet. checked for proxies and permissions issues with the livecd but that didnt avail anything. im makeing a fresh usb with 3.5. is it a livecd also?

I saw in another post you asked for ifconfigt and cat/etc/rc.conf output. im wired from the router so it should work yes?

Anyway, give me a litle aide here please. thanks.

All GhostBSD CD/DVD's are live installable, (as are the 'image' files).
There has been some problems with missing software on some 4.0RC releases, mainly 32bit.
Many people say they had 3.5 up and running, so no harm in trying it.

Levi didnt like my monitor something...xinit unable to connect to server connection refused bad display name livecd:0 in remove command.

tried 4.0 again. booted into livecd mode, again no internet despite ghost showing a wired internet connection (the one im now using from a solydxk livecd mode)

ifconfig from gbsd 4.0 says:

My bad, sorry again. I see your inet is not assign to a IP.

If you now your router network IP it replace mine by yours.

My internal network IP is 192.268.0.1 which is most likely the default IP of most router.
The IP I will assign is 192.268.0.14.

Code: Select all

ifconfig alc0 inet 192.168.0.14/24
you might need to replace

Code: Select all

ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"
by

Code: Select all

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.0.14  netmask 255.255.255.0"
Let me know if it work.

The first command gets me as far as my router admin page but not to the Internet. The second command gets me no further. It says did you mean set ifconfig_fxp0 inet 192.168.1.14 net ask 255.255.255.0. ? Without the quotes and the equals sign
