Setup your Win2k3 install properly, network-wise. If you clicked the interface, went to TCP/IP settings, properties, then scrolled down to the DNS section you can setup the DNS server IPs statically so this doesn't occur all the time. 2. Set the vmware preferences up so the IP would be static behind the NAT with the information in the NAT and then setup your info in / etc/rc.conf properly (search for interface_ in man rc.conf).

Hi Mr Linux Quest:
I too have had a significant problem with the service provided by my
ISP. Too confuse
the issue, I am new to FreeBSD and Linux thought my ISP was fine.
Ping of anything worked fine but email and any brower were slow making a TCP
connection. Using tcpdump showed a 10 second wait. Ian Smith made very
helpful suggestions to guide me in solving the problem.
I was surprised to find that dhclient overwrites /etc/resolv.conf since
I assumed
that programs did not write to /etc. My ISP is apparently misconfigured
since
the dhcp lease names the router as the nameserver. Fortunately, such
problems
can be fixed by modifying /etc/dhclient.conf. But the first step is to use
command line whois to get the real nameserver IP. Example follows.
interface vr0 {
prepend domain-name-servers 64.119.104.2;
;;; the above becomes the first line in /etc/resolv.conf
request subnet-mask, domain-name,
domain-name-servers, host-name,
routers,broadcast-address,
dhcp-lease-time,
dhcp-message-type,
dhcp-server-identifier,
dhcp-renewal-time,
dhcp-rebinding-time;
}
You can look at the lease in /var/db/dhclient.leases.card name
Here is /etc/rc.conf
linux_enable=NO
moused_enable=YES
moused_port=/dev/psm0
moused_type=intellimouse
usbd_enable=YES
ifconfig_vr0=DHCP
hostname=buffy.den.com
apache_enable=NO
And /etc/hosts .. not sure what is needed here???
::1localhost.den.com localhost
127.0.0.1localhost.den.com localhost
192.168.1.102buffy.den.com buffy
254.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 192.168.1.254
102.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 192.168.1.102
The hostname gets the fixed address from the
dhcp lease.
regards,
-Bob-
