Talk to your ISP and find out what you need to use for a dns server, then add the information like this: nameserver 201.101.101.101 Or whatever they give you for an IP address. Don't know if that will solve all of your problems but it will help eventually :) ~Shane pgp key: http://www.freebsdhackers.net/pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+Aew8tGSLUf7ussURAh/SAJwNPMJGy2cZxpqB2TSQN9Oj9VmouQCcCRZq oveW+E4FLa6C/XhwX+dg9dQ= =h91x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
