(One step at a time division). Then I rebooted :-( /etc/resolv.conf now contained search nameserver 192.168.0.185 Tentative conclusion: something in the boot sequence is fooling with (probably creating) /etc/resolv.conf So, what do I change to stop this? Or should I not be trying to stop it? And doing something else entirely? And where can I read about THAT? My access to the net is via DSL with a Windows machine as gateway running a package calle SyGate. (Yes, technically DUMB, DUMB, DUMB) except for one thing: it works. Even I got it working. When (not IF, optimist that I am) I get Free BSD running well under this setup we'll work on changing it. Hopefully a step at a time.
