Do you have any other computers on your network? If you can log onto them you can look at the /etc/hosts file and see a list of addresses. If your network is using DNS, you can use the nslookup command on one of your working hosts to get a list of hostnames and address for your DNS domain. > 2> howcome I can't ping my local host?? You need to assign an address within the address space of your network to the network interface of your card. You should give your host a name and make sure the it is in the same domain as your other network hosts. You also should assign the loopback address 127.0.0.1 to the loopback interface (lo0). > 3>how do I see my NT sever 4.0 on the network?? (this will probably be > solved when 1, and 2 are solved.. Probably. After you've done 1 & 2, ping your NT server's address and it should respond. > Thanks for your help!! > Max Anderson > mca006@coes.latech.edu > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
