Hello,
first thing, create a /etc/hostname. containing a single hostname. That hostname must be resolvable, i.e. it must appear in the /etc/hosts file together with an IP address.
If it is a non-standard IP network (i.e. C-class subnet on B-class network), you must create/edit /etc/networks and add entry with the subnet address and corresponding netmask.
The other things are DNS and refaultrouter setup, this appeared in these archives several time.
Cheers, freddy
