I am on a server using freebsd. They made me a test host e.g test.usww.com My regular is usww.com They told me to go ahead and add what ever I wanted to but they could not help. I am trying to learn while on their server so that when I put up my own I won't have a lot of problems. I have compiled a server using port 8888 as a test (http://usww.com:8888 and http://test.usww.com:8888 and http://207.15.223.24:888). They will not allow me to mess with any of there files directly. Stew hinted to check into 'named' 'nslookup' and 'host' for the information I needed. Frankly I am lost. I have printed those out read over them several times. I don;t know what I am missing. How do I use any one of those commands to add another host? My httpd.conf on my test server and all the other set was straight forward. How do I get a DNS entry without bothering them? Or if I have to bother them what files and/or commands with they have to use to complete the task? I am getting you new version of FreeBsd and going to throw out my SCO is I can feel confident that I can do what I need to. So far everything is gone well except this dumb question. Is it so simple I can not see the forest for the trees? The only reason I am on a different system is that I will not have ISDN capabilities for 6 more months in this area. At which time I am going to put up my own server. HELP! Benjamin Bentsen usashopper.com usww.com
