I have a Dlink 614 + router I use on my network using roadrunner as my isp
I am running 5.2 freebsd I installed the MTR package and it can resolve names when it runs Ping works fine, and using Links text browser I can access the net.
Traceroute itself however will not resolve names of hops past the dlink
router.
A post on this list, I think earlier today, talked about this. The router probably doesn't pass the proper type of ICMP packets back to you, but I can't say for sure ....
Also. how does one rename or alias to programs that have been installed
to make them easier to run?
Well, it's not usually necessary, because the program names in 'Nix are notoriously short ("ls", "cp", "mv", "rm", "cat", etc).
However, for the current session, "alias myalias someprogram" will work.
For *every* session, you should put the aliases in your resource file (.profile for sh/bash, .cshrc for csh/tcsh).
Several are already set up. You can list the aliases present in the current environment by using "alias" with no arguments, but I'd recommend looking at the stock .profile or .cshrc so you can learn a thing or two.
Note that I've set up, somewhat in jest, a set of "Win User Aliases", a metasyntactic joke ;-) , and some stuff for userland ppp.
