Hello to all,
I have my own domain (cybertouch.org) and have FreeBSD 2.2.6 up and
running. However I have a ton of problems which, if I can get some help
with, are very confusing to me.
If I dial in to my present ISP which gives me static IP, how do I
get mail to come to me directly without having to use either fetchmail
or rebooting to windows or telneting to shell account? The internic is
pointing at my ISP's nameserver correctly. In /stand/sysinstall, in the
network setup, I put for host: cybertouch.com domain: cybertouch.com
gateway: their gateway (209.47.145.1) nameserver: their nameserver
(209.47.145.2) and for IP address: I used my static 209.47.145.231
In /etc/resolv.conf the settings are cybertouch.com 209.47.145.231
cybertouch
and in hosts it is my isp's nameserver with cybertouch named there. I
have not installed bind. I was not sure if I needed to.
When connected to IRC and preforming a /whois it returns
beef@cybertouch.org which is what I want. But in mail, it seems like
mail does not come back to me.
Your help is much appreciated. This will bring me closer to getting
my ISP back on the road.
