:)Hi.

:)I have installed FreeBSD 4.2 and installed most of the window managers.

:)I use kppp to dial out to my ISP. The problem is that the connection is
:)established but I can't get to anything on the net. I can't use telnet, ssh,
:)ftp, and even netscape. Whenever I try to go to a webpage, I get "Server
:)cannot be found".
:)
:)I also use kppp to dial out from Linux and that works fine.
:)
:)Any help would be appreciated.
:)
:)Thnx.
