Hi, I hope this mailing list can help. I just installed freebsd 5.3-Release onto a new hard drive and I can't seem to get it online with my dhcp cable modem thru a linksys hub. Later it will be moving to a static ip, so any help with that transition now would be helpful too, but for now I have the machine at home and need to install software on it. If I give a >ifconfig fxp0: flags =8802 <bradcast, simplex, multicast> mtu 1500 options =8<VLAN_MTU> ether 00:a0:c9:e6:11:b1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status:active there's plip0 and lo0 as well... >ping freebsd.org ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure. As an aside, I'm stunned this isn't a FAQ or part of the freebsd manual: "How to get your computer online". Really I'd rather not be posting this question to a mailing list. It seems so basic, yet I can't find an answer out there. If anyone has any references, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Bagus
