Hi Bill et al, 1) Using /stand/sysinstall & trying to download packages from the freeBSD site, I get the ERROR prompt:
--------------- "Cannot resolve hostname 'ftp.freebsd.org'! Are you sure that your name server, gateway and network interface are correctly configured ?" --------------- I have a Cable Broadband Connection. Does this error mean that my DHCP is not configured correctly or is it something else ??? 2) When trying to connect to my ISP's update-server(which you don't need to be authenticated to access) I get this ERROR even though my Cable connection is ON, Connected & Working: ------------------------- 200# ftp update-server ftp: update-server: No address associated with hostname ------------------------- Is this the same problem as above ??? 3) I have in my rc.conf file ------------------------- ifconfig_rl0="DHCP" hostname="127.0.0.1" ------------------------- should the "hostname" be the dynamically allocated address that my ISP assigns when I turn on my Cable Modem or should I leave it as 127.0.0.1 ??? If there is anything else that you think that I may be missing in trying to connect to the net, please let me know ;) Kind Regards, DK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
