There is another FreeBSD box and a windoze box on the same internal subnet (192.168.0.x). I've installed netscape on both the FreeBSD box and the windoze box (The FreeBSD box is runing X). The windoze box can browse, with no problem but, the FreeBSD cannot. The IP address on the windoze box is set correctly with the default gateway set at 192.168.0.1 and the DNS search order set at 192.168.0.1. This configuration is working fine for the windoze box. However, the FreeBSD box cannot browse at all. When trying to browse, I get an error message saying that Netscape is unable to locate the server and, there may be a problem with my name server, and that $SOCKS_NS may have to be set to the appropriate name server. What am I missing? What other files need to be configured on the FreeBSD box in order to make Netscape browse properly? > > I am assuming you are talking about the FreeBSD box that isn't your NAT/DNS machine. Is netscape the only thing that you are having problems with? Can you ping by IP or hostname out to the net? As far as files, you need the following: /etc/rc.conf defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 There's a bit more to it than that, but I would need more info to give you more specific help.
