Hi,
don't focus your attention solely on DNS configuration. In fact I would

yeah. did that. it looks empty. i don't understand it.
here it is. mostly comments. local host. what do i put in
there?

i know this seems real lame and basic to u, i'm sorry. i got
a BSCS in 1989 when there were no webservers on the internet.
for about 8 years i studied molecular biology and got a MS
in physiology then i started going to city college for
basic c++ etc. my BSCS was all in c. i did take some admin
classes but i didn't have a puter all those years mostly
to play with and finally i do. a dual boot freeBSD/XP laptop.
i got accepted to a MSCS program where arno puder is a prof
and he has really been busting my balls. well.. basically
the program is sort of closer to the machine than my
BSCS was. although i took a course in operating systems
for my BSCS i got a BC so arno made me take his course.
the beginning of the class really killed me because
we had to like install all these arcane close to the machine
type simulators. right now arno is on sabbatical and they
got another guy teaching his curriculum. i have been having
a heck of a time getting up to speed but at least this time
i got my freeking java installed. i have only gradually got
to the point where i am comfortable just dealing with the
dual boot thing making my freeBSD not quiver and stuff.
i know during the installation of freeBSD i got helped
by my friend rudy who runs the isp monkeybrains.net and
runs dual head freeBSD when he decides to make it to
the office. i know we did something with the sysinstall
with netwerking but he didn't really want to take a lot
of time explaining i don't know i didn't really catch
it he sort of didn't want to deal with it much.
which Rudolf already
suggested. The whole issue is that your machine of some name needs to be able
to also get it's own IP address and to the machine IP you need to be able to
get the machine name. For both these tasks /etc/hosts is perfectly enough,
you just need to setup or even install your machine correctly.
BTW: What you get if you execute this command-line:
ping `hostname`
ping hostname
ping: cannot resolve hostname: Unknown host
ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.080 ms

oh. that was dumb.
is ping able to ping your host IP address?
kayve# cat /etc/resolv.conf

this dingy was really enlightening. when i
put it into a browser i found this information
ow that IP is SBC

my feeling is that one of these IPs is what we need?
i also have a feeling it is going to dawn on u "omg
this guy has just a simple problem i don't know why
he didn't know that," at some point.
Cheers,
Karel

This doesn't look good.
MICO requires a correct network installation.
man rc.conf
man hosts
man named
man sysinstall
...
All you need is a standard FreeBSD installation with networking
configured. And then the standard MICO works out of the box.
Cheers,
Rudi
