Hello,
even if you don't run a DNS **server** (named / BIND), you sould
definitely use resolv.conf to map symbolic addresses (ftp.cdrom.com)
to 32 bit IP addresses.
Could you be more elaborate on "I can't get netscape or lynx to work"
TfH

The fbsd manual index entry for /etc/resolv.conf refers to the chapter for DNS.
I'm
not running DNS and don't plan to. Do I need /etc/resolv.conf. I don't have one
at
present.

I can ping my ISP. I can ping other ISP's. I appear to be able to ping any valid
numeric IP address.
