For the 1st one you need to add the actual LAN or WAN ip address to the /etc/hosts for example: 10.10.1.1 quasar quasar.bla.net The 4th one also related to this one. And 5 You don`t need ssh to use gnome desktop Ozgur Ozdemircili http://www.enderunix.org http://haber.enderunix.org -----Original Message----- From: Khong SF [mailto:khongs@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 9:43 AM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: gnome won't start Hi I've been using FreeBSD 4.7-stable on a PIII box for a while.
