is it the Modem IP i want do deal with? do i just
match the format for /etc/host and put that in
there?  i am pretty sure i am not static IP so
i will probably need to write a startup script to
detect my IP on boot for /etc/hosts? if so, how
do i do that?

Hi,

don't focus your attention solely on DNS configuration. In fact I would rather recommend you to inspect your /etc/hosts file 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`

is ping able to ping your host IP address?

Cheers,
Karel

okay, no advice on this?

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
