Problems connecting to the internet through a wireless router
I created the /etc/resolv.conf file and now it works. Amazing how simple that was. Thanks! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Problems connecting to the internet through a wireless router
I have installed FreeBSD succesfully on my Gateway M500 laptop. The only problem I have is that my laptop connects to the internet through a wireless router. My wireless card is working fine on the laptop and I can succesfully ping the router, but when I load up a webbrowser I get a "Cannot find webpage" error. So, it's confusing that the computer can connect to the router but not through the router to the internet. The output of ifconfig wi0 is: wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::202:2dff:feb3:a0e%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:02:2d:b3:0a:0e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid 1475 1:1475 stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 6 automode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 Everything is setup fine with DHCP. Wep is disabled on my router right now so the wepmode I think shouldn't matter. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
