Greetings all, It has been a long time since I worked with any unix, and I had a spare pc laying around that hadn't been on in months, so I decided to toss freebsd onto it.
The installation went smoothly and I've got it up and running. My next goal is to get it's internet access working flawlessly. The problem that I'm having is that while it can get access via IP address, it's domain resolutions are not working. The way that I've been setting this up is via tutorials on the net, going into Sysinstall -> configure -> interfaces -> sis0 then hitting yes for it to auto detect everything. All of this comes up really beautifully and happily. The details it discoveres are 100% correct. However, I can not get the little box in Interfaces to hold an 'x' (not sure if that's right or not anyway) and when I exit sysinstall and go back, it has not retained the information. When I do an nslookup from shell, it shows my ip as 0.0.0.0 which is probably part of the problem. It should be showing my internal IP (192.168.1.13); which it does detect in sysinstall.... Anyway, as you can see from this message, I'm a complete beginner at this. If anyone is willing to take some time and work through it with me, I'd be really super appreciative. The option of re-working the network is nil, as well; there are 6 xp machines so I have to get it talking to the existant network; which is based off a linksys router. Thank you all in advance. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
