How to set static IP address on the FreeBSD machine?
Solution 1:
in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"192.168.0.254 -- the machine IP, 192.168.0.1 -- gateway
These settings in rc.conf are looked up in the boot process.
If you'd like to set ip manually, run:
ifconfig em0 inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 route delete default; route add default 192.168.0.1

Another way to do the same thing:
- run "sysinstall" as root
- "configure"
- "networking"
- "interfaces"
- Now choose you interface and configure it.
