My netmask is indeed 255.255.255.0 which means my broadcase address is 198.82.82.255 :<) The problem I described did not happen when I just installed FreeBSD in school. When I went back home working offline and tried to open KDE, it gives error because gethostbyaddr() or some other related sys call (don't remember exactly) fails when KDE starts. I then manually added a hostname/IP entry in hosts. Everything works fine at home. However, the problem arises when I come back to school and connect it to the network. Any idea what might went wrong? I appreciate your help very much. Be sure to tell me if telia.com problem still exists, but I am not using it tho... Thanks.
