I have a 'hosts' file on my win98 box, it goes a little something like this: --snip:hosts:begin-- 192.168.0.1 freud 192.168.0.2 einstein --snip:hosts:end-- Still the same thing. However I do NOT have this on my FBSD box, could that be the problem? If so how do you go about creating a 'hosts' file for FBSD. I assume it is the same thing as above but in the /etc/hosts location as apose to c:\windows\hosts Thank you, Stephane R.
