Needless to say, all this logged in as root. 2.) Probably problems with your or your ISPs DNS-server or lack om any. Saw in the other mails that you had no /etc/resolv.conf , so I guess your problem are there. You have given very little information on what kind of internet access you have, but I suppose that you have gotten instructions from your ISP of which DNS-servers to use. ( IP-addresses ) Use to be two of them. A primary and a secondary. Those ip-addresses are what you are going to put in your /etc/resolv.conf Please see my answers to your other mails for instructions on how to do that. 3. I'll recommend a bit study of the exellent FreeBSD Handbook :-) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Here you'll find step by step instructions on how to set up, configure and get your system running. -- Best Regards Hasse webmaster@swedehost.com
