My FreeBSD box is connected to an Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP and is assigned a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.254. I have an NT 4 Server box on the LAN with MS Proxy and a permanent internet connection. If I start KDE on BSD and run the file manager-type window and use it as a web browser, setting the proxy settings to the NT Server's IP and port I can get on the web and do whatever I want. However, because my FreeBSD box has no modem and there seems to be a problem accessing the internal LAN FTP site I used to install FreeBSD (can't find various packages when I try and add them through /stand/sysinstall) I wanted to just go straight to the source (ftp.freebsd.org) and install my packages from there. When I tell the package install to connect to an ftp site through a firewall and set the LAN config, it can't get out successfully. I am setting the Gateway and DNS to my NT box's IP of 192.168.0.1. I am still learning here so maybe these files would help... host.conf file: bind conf hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost.SMI-DENVER localhost 192.168.0.254 a.b.c a 192.168.0.254 a.b.c resolv.conf file: domain SMI-DENVER nameserver 192.168.0.1 Any pointers are appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alex Davidson Email/PowWow: alexd@idcomm.com http://www.idcomm.com/personal/alexd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
