The laptop is an NEC Versa P75. The modem I am using is an external Zoom 33.6, which works pretty well with a wintel box. I have the most recent boot disks, and am using the novice installation. I am able to connect to my ISP through the terminal program, but the machine fails to resolve whatever FTP site I am selecting. I am assuming that this is because I am not correctly filling in the network information section. Do you think you could tell me what I ought to be putting into these fields? In the host name, I have just been putting in something like "jserf.flash.net" or just "jserf" In the domain name I have been typing "flash.net" In the gateway, I have no clue what to type. I have tried leaving it blank, and also typing in the DNS addy. In the name server, I am typing 209.30.0.9, FlashNet's primary DNS server. I'm not sure about the other fields. I apologize asking you such simple questions; I am very new to BSD. I work here at FlashNet, so if you need any more information, please feel free to ask, and I'm sure I can get it somehow. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide! -Joe, The Feeble FlashNet Serf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
