Have you got named running? What's the output of "ipfw show"? You haven't given us enough information to help us help you. -- Jonathan Chen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We laugh in the face of danger, we drop icecubes down the vest of fear" - Edmond Blackadder III _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Firstly thanks for your reply, contents of /etc/resolv.conf are as follows. search computerking.ca nameserver 192.168.0.202 nameserver 24.71.223.144 nameserver 24.71.223.144 If i am not mistaken my server (192.168.0.202 or computerking.ca) that runs FreeBSD as well provides that information through the dhcpd? I do not have named running on that machine but instead on the fore mentioned server. ipfw show outputs the following line what the ??? 65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any that doesn't look right does it??? can you help me fix this???

The rc.conf stuff is ok too, and it worked before the make world i have not changed it. something to do with ipfw it think but i do not know much about that or if it is even the problem.
