Re: Problem regarding dhcp and FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop
I checked the resolv.conf file, but alas, it had the proper information in it. The laptop still can't connect to the internet, I've even tried using a linksys wireless-B USB network adapter and the WAP key to try and connect, but no go. - Original Message - From: Deceased [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Scott Key [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 7:02 PM Subject: Re: Problem regarding dhcp and FreeBSD 4.10 on a laptop Scott Key wrote: I have a Toshiba Satellite that used to run Win 98 until I got fed up and installed FreeBSD.

When I've had a problem like this it's usually my firewall. Are you running a firewall at all? Also, can you ssh in to the BSD box from inside the network?
