I am a new user of FreeBSD. I have already installed FreeBSD
succesfully. However, I am not able to connect to the Internet. I
have read the ppp manual in FreeBSD (by typing man ppp), but I
still can't connect to the Internet.
This is what happened at my prompt ...
abc# ping google.com
ping: cannot resolve google.com: Host name lookup failure
Then, I thought perhaps I haven't configure my DNS. So I typed man
dns, but I can't find the DNS manual, and yes... I know my ISP DNS
IP address. But I don't know where to configure it in FreeBSD.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks.
You might want to ensure you have connectivity by trying to ping
something by IP. (128.101.101.101 would work if you don't know an IP
off the top of your head)
Anyways, to answer your question, nameservers are configured
in /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
is the format of the directive in it.
