Strange Internet Problems
In certain places, I am unable to get on the internet even though I am recognized by the DHCP server and assigned an IP address. In most cases, I am not able to ping anything, but even when I can (for example at my parents' house, which is serviced by MSN) my browser times out. What is the name of this problem, and which section of the docs will help me to fix it? _jason ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you can connect to the internet, and if you are running ipf/ipfw - then look at your ruleset. Other then that - call your ISP -- Best regards, Chris Inside every large program is a small program struggling to get out. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Strange Internet Problems
Hello Jason, I'll try my hand at helping you. Please go to: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#submit I have some questions to get you started on the way to being helped. 1) What are you using to connect to the internet? A laptop that you are taking from place to place? Someone else's computer that is where you happen to be at the time? 2) How are you trying to connect to the Internet? Broadband or dialup? 3) What are examples of IP addresses that you are assigned by the DHCP server? 4) What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? 5) What is the output of ifconfig 6) What version of FreeBSD are you using? What is the output from uname -a? 7) When your browser times out, are you trying to connect to the browser home page? or some other web site? Don Donald J.
